Mestre Ataíde sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The saturated accent, #BD4C29, registers at 6.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. Taken together, these qualities constitute Mestre Ataíde's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
