Charles Hayter keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #273A65, registers at 4.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range spans 70 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Charles Hayter's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
