Art Deco is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #EAD3B8 at 46.0% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The highest-chroma note - #D1A255 - appears at just 0.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Spanning 50 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation.
