Pedro Lira occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 7.9% is devoted to #ECDED4, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 61 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 1 of Pedro Lira's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
