Cornelis Thim sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #CAB482, registers at 9.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Cornelis Thim's complete body of work advances.
