Constantin Guys is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #A4877F - appears at just 7.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 72 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Constantin Guys's complete body of work advances.
