Raphael is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 4.5%, #947443 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 57 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 Raphael's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
