Palette Analysis
Neo-Rococo painters returned to these tonal relationships repeatedly; this palette is their shared chromatic grammar. Values in Neo-Rococo rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #90332E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.4%). The full value range is 74 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is the light that Neo-Rococo painters chose to live inside.
