Mid-key values give Chaim Soutine its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Chaim Soutine deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. Only 5.6% is devoted to #E4D48F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 45 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Chaim Soutine's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
