Northern Renaissance sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The artist keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #B77248 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.6%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 69 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
