The value structure of Correggio is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 5.1%, #9E5438 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. These proportions encode Correggio's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
