Palette Analysis
The value structure of Mannerism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #5B4424 delivers the chromatic peak at only 12.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
