cityscape distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #986F45 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
