Antonio Paoletti occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #AF8954 delivers the chromatic peak at only 11.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 63 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Taken together, these qualities constitute Antonio Paoletti's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
