Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #957042 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.4%). The value range spans 59 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
