Mannerism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #DFBD8F, is reserved to 6.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 67 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
