Leo Steel sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Leo Steel tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #070509 at 32.0% - sets the character of the whole composition. Only 1.3% is devoted to #D1BAA6, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 86 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Leo Steel's complete body of work advances.
