Othon Friesz Palette 5

Palette Analysis

Values in Othon Friesz rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Othon Friesz tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. The most saturated colour, #CA8C26, is reserved to 4.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 43 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 5 of Othon Friesz's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
