Palette Analysis

Gryef occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Gryef leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #5B3017, is reserved to 8.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Gryef's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
