Mannerism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #FCFBF8, registers at 0.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 73 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
