Palette Analysis
Low-key values are the structural spine of Baroque, giving it gravity and atmosphere. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #1B181E at 27.0% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The saturated accent, #753F35, registers at 3.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The combination of low values, muted chroma, and compressed range is the signature of the Tonalist mode - painting as atmosphere.
