Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Walter Gramatté's palette 4 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
