Costumbrismo keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #AC8D59 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.7%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 57 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
