Neo-Impressionism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 8.8%, #918A5D carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. Value range is moderate at 51 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity.
