Values in Chen Hongshou rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The chromatic peak belongs to #A08E69, and at 8.8% it dominates, not decorates. 46 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Chen Hongshou's complete body of work advances.
