The high-key values of Academicism give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #C29E82 delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.9% - 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. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
