Palette Analysis
Orphism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #BD621C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.5%). The value range spans 75 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
