Mid-key values give Expressionism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The highest-chroma note - #5B2921 - appears at just 9.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 57 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
