Classicism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #685235, registers at 12.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range spans 56 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
