Theodore Poulakis 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. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The most saturated colour, #B95C17, is reserved to 8.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 57 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Theodore Poulakis's complete body of work advances.
