Values in Sascha Schneider rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette of Sascha Schneider leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #ECDCBE functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.2%). At 60 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is palette 1 of Sascha Schneider's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
