Joseph Lieck distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Joseph Lieck carry the compositional weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 6.3%, #AE7E68 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 1 of Joseph Lieck's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
