Classicism Palette 2

Parchment Aged warm neutral - the color of old manuscript parchment, tan and slightly yellowed.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Classicism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #D9C9B1, is reserved to 2.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 72 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
