Proto Renaissance keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #6D3A2F, is reserved to 5.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 60 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
