Palette Analysis
Cubism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #7B98CC, registers at 11.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
