Louis Marcoussis sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #3C648C, is reserved to 2.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 46 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Louis Marcoussis's complete body of work advances.
