Mher Abeghian keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 6.9% is devoted to #7D4733, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 42 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Mher Abeghian's complete body of work advances.
