Values in Luc-Olivier Merson rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Luc-Olivier Merson builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. The most saturated colour, #AE8D22, is reserved to 11.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Luc-Olivier Merson's complete body of work advances.
