Northern Renaissance sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #AC8665, registers at 10.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
