Palette Analysis
The value structure of Neoclassicism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #A17949 - appears at just 6.6%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 65 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
