Polychronis Lembesis Palette 6

Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Polychronis Lembesis its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #726634, is reserved to 3.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 30 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 6 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Polychronis Lembesis's complete body of work advances.
