Josef Kinzel sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 11.2% is devoted to #997647, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 47 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Josef Kinzel's complete body of work advances.
