Pedro Américo sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 6.0% is devoted to #7F98C5, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. In the context of Pedro Américo's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
