Palette Analysis
Max Ernst is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Max Ernst tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The highest-chroma note - #ABDE8A - appears at just 10.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Max Ernst's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
