High Renaissance occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #D9BD81, registers at 7.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
