Franklin Booth occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #151A1B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.8%). 56 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Franklin Booth's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
