Light floods Ferdynand Ruszczyc; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Warm hues command this palette; Ferdynand Ruszczyc favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #968A4B delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 47 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Ferdynand Ruszczyc's complete body of work advances.
