Palette Analysis
The value structure of Lyonel Feininger is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 5.0%, #612F1D carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range of 51 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 6 of Lyonel Feininger's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
