Tom Scott is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #8D7D42 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.9%). The value range of 30 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Tom Scott's complete body of work advances.
