Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The saturated accent, #D95F3E, registers at 6.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 55 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. In the context of Marcos Zapata's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
