Simon Dubois sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #D7985F, registers at 2.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 58 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Simon Dubois's complete body of work advances.
