Stefan Luchian is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. 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. #EDDBB8 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.6%). At 45 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 1 of Stefan Luchian's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
