Palette Analysis

Northern Renaissance sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. A single dominant - #151111 at 29.3% - sets the character of the whole composition. #814028 delivers the chromatic peak at only 8.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 68 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
