The high-key values of Romualdo Locatelli give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #E7CC6F delivers the chromatic peak at only 12.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 55 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Romualdo Locatelli's complete body of work advances.
