Mid-key values give abstract its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. The highest-chroma note - #D8A060 - appears at just 9.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 57 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
