The high-key values of Alexis Gritchenko give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Alexis Gritchenko orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 4.3% is devoted to #A7715B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 47 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Alexis Gritchenko's complete body of work advances.
