Henrique Pousao is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #625838 - appears at just 5.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 1 of Henrique Pousao's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
