Palette Analysis
Mannerism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The palette gives 25.8% of the composition to a single #271D1A - a decisive chromatic anchor. The highest-chroma note - #D2AB7E - appears at just 4.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony.
