Mid-key values give abstract its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. Only 5.3% is devoted to #C33B02, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
