Warm hues command this palette; Károly Markó the Elder favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #EEB137 delivers the chromatic peak at only 1.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
