Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Cubism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #C08542 - appears at just 6.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
