Neoclassicism Palette 23

Palette Analysis

The value structure of Neoclassicism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #C8B593, is reserved to 7.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 72 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
