The high-key values of Max Pietschmann give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. #CDB11B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). The palette spans 36 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. In the context of Max Pietschmann's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
