Neoclassicism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #9F7B53 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.0%). At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
