Light floods Constant Mayer; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Warmth dominates - the palette of Constant Mayer leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #D1A580 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.0%). The value range of 40 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Constant Mayer's complete body of work advances.
