Gabriel Ferrier is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #6D5137, is reserved to 6.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 65 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Gabriel Ferrier's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
