International Gothic Palette 13
Shadowed Bister

Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
International Gothic keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 25.4%, #282928 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. #95593C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.0%). The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
