The value structure of Mannerism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #DBC7A5 - appears at just 7.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 59 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
