Paul Serusier Palette 5

Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Paul Serusier its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Paul Serusier builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #A1672F, is reserved to 10.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 34 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 5 of Paul Serusier's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
