Otto Dix is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Otto Dix tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #985D34, registers at 1.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Otto Dix's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
