Pointillism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #A56C3C delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 58 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
