Values in Northern Renaissance rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #643725, is reserved to 7.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 75 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
