Early Renaissance occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 4.5% is devoted to #B96349, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
