Palette Analysis
Neo-Impressionism works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #B19853 - appears at just 3.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range of 48 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
