Values in Gothic rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #D7C4A0, registers at 2.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation.
