Luc-Olivier Merson Palette 8

Palette Analysis

Values in Luc-Olivier Merson rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Luc-Olivier Merson tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 6.9%, #C8C6E5 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 82 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. 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 8 of Luc-Olivier Merson's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
