Palette Analysis

Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #D09377 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.0%). 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
