David Bomberg is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The highest-chroma note - #B9714F - appears at just 4.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that David Bomberg's complete body of work advances.
