Mid-key values give Daniel Gran its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #342018 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.7%). A value spread of 72 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 1 of Daniel Gran's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
