Values in Outsider art rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #C0B037, is reserved to 3.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 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.
