Values in Leonardo da Vinci rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Leonardo da Vinci favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 28.1%, #1A1916 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. #CBB293 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.9%). 67 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Leonardo da Vinci's complete body of work advances.
