Gustavo Simoni distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. Only 5.4% is devoted to #291A10, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 54 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Palette 9 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Gustavo Simoni's complete body of work advances.
