Palette Analysis
Theophile Steinlen occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 5.4% is devoted to #CAC0AD, 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. In the context of Theophile Steinlen's full range of palettes, group 11 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
