Values in Academicism tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The most saturated colour, #A45C2A, is reserved to 4.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
