Early Renaissance distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. 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. The highest-chroma note - #E8DECF - appears at just 9.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
