Palette Analysis
Low-key values are the structural spine of Neo-Romanticism, giving it gravity and atmosphere. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 2.2% is devoted to #B66D37, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 62 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The combination of low values, muted chroma, and compressed range is the signature of the Tonalist mode - painting as atmosphere.
