Palette Analysis
Neoclassicism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 5.2%, #CAA356 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 59 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
