Carl Holsøe sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. Rather than a studied accent, #CDCA90 takes 7.4% - a bold allocation that saturates the composition's atmosphere. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. In the context of Carl Holsøe's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
