Baroque distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #CF9E4C, registers at 5.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
