Palette Analysis
Neoclassicism is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 2.7%, #B87C52 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
