Early Renaissance is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #AA8756 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
