Palette Analysis
International Gothic is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The dominant colour, #D9D4C5, takes 27.2% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #99443F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.1%). 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
