Art Deco works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #E5D8BB at 27.0% - sets the character of the whole composition. The saturated accent, #CD6A45, registers at 3.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 67 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
