Francesco Podesti distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #C8B291 - appears at just 8.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range spans 56 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is palette 2 of Francesco Podesti's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
