Mid-key values give cloudscape its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. Only 2.7% is devoted to #B26721, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 69 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
