Aloysius O'Kelly sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #AA825F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.0%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. These proportions encode Aloysius O'Kelly's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
