Sassoferrato distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Sassoferrato balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The chromatic peak belongs to #5982BD, and at 32.1% it dominates, not decorates. The full value range is 72 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 1 of Sassoferrato's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
