Johann Baptist Haas is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. 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. #B7B478 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.8%). The value range of 49 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Johann Baptist Haas's complete body of work advances.
