Laurel,

A colorist in the sense of an artist is someone who uses color well and harmoniously. It has nothing to do with high or low chroma.

It has nothing to do with form or light. It has everthing to do with color.

Here are some examples of paintings that depend on mainly on color harmony instead of form.

Klimt
Whistler
Friseke
Redon

Thank-you for those studies-they are very enlightening.
