Polychronis Lembesis is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. 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. Only 3.9% is devoted to #6F5E48, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 49 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. This is palette 1 of Polychronis Lembesis's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
