The high-key values of Neo-Romanticism give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 14.9%, #F1E9D8 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
