Mid-key values give Cyril Power its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; Cyril Power favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #21263E, is reserved to 8.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 56 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Cyril Power's complete body of work advances.
