Palette Analysis

illustration sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. #DD5731 is not a small accent - at 20.1% it qualifies as a major presence and gives the palette its chromatic identity. A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
