The high-key values of Classicism 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. A single dominant - #E9E7DC at 41.3% - sets the character of the whole composition. At 9.0%, #DFC3B4 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
