Values in Orientalism tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #694A36 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.5%). The palette spans 54 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
