Mannerism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. 32.4% of the palette belongs to #FDFDFD, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #9B4326 delivers the chromatic peak at only 1.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 77 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
