Mid-key values give capriccio its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 3.9% is devoted to #AB8A4A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
