Palette Analysis
Charles Rennie Mackintosh keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 4.5% is devoted to #968B43, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 78 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. These proportions encode Charles Rennie Mackintosh's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
