Northern Renaissance keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. Only 8.4% is devoted to #C69A67, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 56 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
