Values in M. H. Maxy rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #865337, registers at 5.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. M. H. Maxy's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
