Light floods Carl Hasenpflug; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #C4A255 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). The full value range is 72 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 1 of Carl Hasenpflug's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
