Warm hues command this palette; Max Kurzweil favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. 26.0% of the palette belongs to #3D2C2A, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #E6DFCF functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (12.0%). 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette is recognisably Max Kurzweil's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
