Mid-key values give Tomás Yepes its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 26.5%, #110E0E functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. #B98C44 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.5%). The full value range is 70 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Tomás Yepes's palette 1 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
