Values in Gothic rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The highest-chroma note - #63523F - appears at just 10.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 76 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
