Pointillism is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #A87640, registers at 6.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The palette spans 50 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
