Palette Analysis
Values in Maurice Utrillo rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #7B5538 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.7%). The value range spans 59 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. This is the light Maurice Utrillo preferred, made measurable.
