Values in Anton Mauve rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Anton Mauve balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #AE9A7C, registers at 5.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Value range is moderate at 50 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Anton Mauve's complete body of work advances.
