Mannerism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #D9B98B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.2%). A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
