Palette Analysis

Early Renaissance occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. At 30.7%, #1C1617 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. The saturated accent, #885220, registers at 9.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
