Bartholomeo Bettera sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warmth dominates - the palette of Bartholomeo Bettera leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #962B1B, is reserved to 2.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 80 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Bartholomeo Bettera's complete body of work advances.
