abstract distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The dominant colour, #201D1E, takes 26.9% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #97915A delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
