Topaz Golden yellow - the color of topaz gemstone, warm and slightly saturated.
Palette Analysis
Values in Wyndham Lewis rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Wyndham Lewis deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #225690, registers at 2.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 1 of Wyndham Lewis's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
