Palette Analysis
Northern Renaissance keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #874E32 delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 65 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
