Mannerism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #C69967, is reserved to 4.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The palette spans 52 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
