Impressionism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #B5A683 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
