Baroque occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The artist keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 8.1%, #8F6D49 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 57 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
