Palette Analysis
The value structure of Neo-Byzantine is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. Only 3.2% is devoted to #DDD66B, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 71 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Together these qualities point to the open-air Impressionist method: recording light rather than local colour.
