Palette Analysis
Neo-Byzantine as a style is partly defined by its colour: this palette makes that definition concrete. Neo-Byzantine distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #568B29 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.0%). At 60 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. This is the light that Neo-Byzantine painters chose to live inside.
