Martin Kober keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Martin Kober deploys as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 3.6%, #CCAE53 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 74 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Martin Kober's complete body of work advances.
