Félix Del Marle occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #C55025, is reserved to 9.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 64 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Taken together, these qualities constitute Félix Del Marle's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
