Edward Moran sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #E9B256 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.4%). The value range spans 65 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. These proportions encode Edward Moran's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
