Francesco Solimena distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #E3DBC1, registers at 6.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Francesco Solimena's complete body of work advances.
