Palette Analysis
The value structure of Mannerism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #755B44, is reserved to 8.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 61 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
