Palette Analysis

Neoclassicism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #C7A77B, registers at 5.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 61 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
