Chauncey Bradley Ives is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Warm hues command this palette; Chauncey Bradley Ives favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #745437 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.3%). The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Chauncey Bradley Ives's complete body of work advances.
