Palette Analysis
Academicism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #A57C4E delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 62 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
