Károly Markó the Elder distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 5.0%, #E0B059 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 67 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. This is the light Károly Markó the Elder preferred, made measurable.
