Gustavo Simoni works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #A06849 - appears at just 3.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Spanning 51 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gustavo Simoni's complete body of work advances.
