Mid-key values give Carl Millner its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #B29B68, registers at 5.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Carl Millner's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
