Light floods Alexandre Calame; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Alexandre Calame tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 8.7%, #8E7539 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 55 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alexandre Calame's complete body of work advances.
