Brunel Neuville keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #BA7E33 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.2%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Together these qualities point to the open-air Impressionist method: recording light rather than local colour. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Brunel Neuville's complete body of work advances.
