Values in High Renaissance rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #8B3B2C delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 64 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
