Edward Hastings distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #372F20 - appears at just 11.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Edward Hastings's complete body of work advances.
