Values in Academicism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #C2B196 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 49 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony.
