Deconstructing the Palette: Lionel-Groulx's Calepinage '78
The 'Calepinage' palette used in the Lionel-Groulx collection isolates the chromatic intensity of the station’s floor, bypassing the subterranean grey to focus exclusively on the ceramic spectrum. It is a saturated interplay of burnt ochre, deep vermilion, and solar yellow. This is 1978’s specific brand of 'Retro-Futurism'—a vision of the future rendered in fire-kilned tones rather than cold steel. On a modern interface, these heavy, analog hues provide a necessary density, grounding the ephemeral pixel in something tactile and deliberate.
