Marianne von Werefkin Master Palette

Palette Analysis

Values in Marianne von Werefkin rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #C1A858 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.2%). The value range spans 57 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. The palette is recognisably Marianne von Werefkin's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
