Gabriel Loppe is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Gabriel Loppe deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #482E28 is not a small accent - at 8.7% it qualifies as a major presence and gives the palette its chromatic identity. 67 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 1 of Gabriel Loppe's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
