Values in Carlo De Notaris rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #BC9761, registers at 5.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 49 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. Carlo De Notaris arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
