Palette Analysis

The value structure of Renaissance is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #8B352A - appears at just 3.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 77 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
