Neo-baroque 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. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The most saturated colour, #CD6643, is reserved to 5.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 53 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
