Values in Martín Tovar y Tovar rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #D38260 - appears at just 4.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Value range is moderate at 46 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. In the context of Martín Tovar y Tovar's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
