Palette Analysis

Sebastien Bourdon distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Sebastien Bourdon builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #986543, is reserved to 4.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 53 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Sebastien Bourdon's complete body of work advances.
