Palette Analysis
Mannerism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 4.6% is devoted to #87452B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range spans 60 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
