Elias Van Nijmegen sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Elias Van Nijmegen deploys as the palette's primary energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 5.0% is devoted to #A8774A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 64 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Elias Van Nijmegen's complete body of work advances.
