Impressionism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. At 5.8%, #A84C2C carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The palette spans 48 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
