Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
The value structure of International Gothic is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. #784128 delivers the chromatic peak at only 12.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range of 47 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette reads as an Impressionist one - light-biased, chromatically direct, and built on temperature contrast rather than value opposition.
