Antonio Carneiro occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The chromatic peak belongs to #A48443, and at 19.7% it dominates, not decorates. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. These proportions encode Antonio Carneiro's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
