Marc Chagall works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Marc Chagall builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The dominant colour, #E4E7B0, takes 26.9% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. At 4.2%, #DE4747 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 75 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 1 of Marc Chagall's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
