Simplício Rodrigues de Sá distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The saturated accent, #BB7B3A, registers at 10.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 71 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Together these qualities point to the open-air Impressionist method: recording light rather than local colour. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Simplício Rodrigues de Sá's complete body of work advances.
