Silvery Vellum

Vellum Smooth pale tan - the color of prepared calf-skin vellum, warmer than parchment.
Palette Analysis
Franklin Carmichael is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 5.7%, #5F7298 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 63 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Franklin Carmichael's complete body of work advances.
