Muralism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #D69879, registers at 3.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 50 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
