Palette Analysis
The high-key values of cityscape give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 4.5%, #714D37 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 61 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
