Louis Artan Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Light floods Louis Artan; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #4A3F31, is reserved to 1.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 37 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. In the context of Louis Artan's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
