Neo-Byzantine keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #754433 delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 56 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
