Palette Analysis
Louise Abbéma is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 2.0% is devoted to #A7A76F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 2 of Louise Abbéma's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
