Palette Analysis

Values in Julius Schmid rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #5F4126, registers at 9.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is the light Julius Schmid preferred, made measurable.
