Outsider Art Palette 3
Hushed Vellum
Hushed Very low chroma and quiet value - restrained to near-silence, barely present.
Vellum Smooth pale tan - the color of prepared calf-skin vellum, warmer than parchment.
Palette Analysis
Values in Outsider art rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #566975 at 29.0% - sets the character of the whole composition. #445B9E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.3%). 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
