The dominant colour, #E5E0E2, takes 33.8% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #2C4070 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (0.4%). The value range spans 82 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
