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. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #B8A16D, registers at 7.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 57 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
