Cubism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #A4482D, registers at 5.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range spans 60 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
