Orientalism is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #C0A473, registers at 7.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 51 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
