Imagine a printed page before thinking about a gradient. Black draws the hardest mark, near-black softens it, and graphite carries the quieter information that should remain visible without taking control.
Middle gray and paper gray widen the empty areas between marks. White finishes the composition as untouched space. The palette creates hierarchy without asking hue to do any work.
