Values in Proto Renaissance rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #A2583E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.7%). At 55 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
