The high-key values of Qian Xuan give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #BE9E79 claims 38.0% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. The highest-chroma note - #A66551 - appears at just 1.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Qian Xuan's complete body of work advances.
