But seriously...the Monet/Manet pallettes next to each other really do suggest thier respective styles/colors/etc. Pretty cool!
And Degas, too, for that matter

(36,898 posts)Of the Eugene Delacroix/Georges Seurat palettes, I would have guessed the former was Seurat. If they were not next to each other, I think I would have guessed correctly (regarding Seurat). I would never have guessed the Delacroix palette! Edit: actually, the second palette makes a lot more sense!
I am not really familiar with Cy Twombly, but I can totally see it:
Thanks for your input!

(36,898 posts)The Chagall palette and the Kandinsky palette are somewhat similar, color-wise.
However, the Kandinsky palette is more segmented, just like much of his work.
Wouldn't it be interesting to know which final work of art was painted with each respective palette?
