Palette Analysis
Currier and Ives keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #414F6B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.5%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 63 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is the light Currier and Ives preferred, made measurable.
