Values in Giovanni Costa rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Giovanni Costa favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #7D2B1B delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 70 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 7 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Giovanni Costa's complete body of work advances.
