Palette Analysis
Values in Paul Serusier rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 3.4% is devoted to #292C60, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 41 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Paul Serusier's palette 10 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
