Panos Terlemezian occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 6.0% is devoted to #4E3828, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 55 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Panos Terlemezian's complete body of work advances.
