Early Renaissance is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The highest-chroma note - #804428 - appears at just 5.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 53 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
