Baroque occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #D5AF75, registers at 8.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 63 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
