The value structure of Charles XV of Sweden is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Charles XV of Sweden builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #CCBF88, is reserved to 4.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The palette spans 51 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Charles XV of Sweden's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
