Alma Erdmann occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Alma Erdmann deploys as the palette's primary energy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #604F3B, is reserved to 10.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. In the context of Alma Erdmann's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
