Rococo distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. At 8.6%, #C9AD73 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 51 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette reads as an Impressionist one - light-biased, chromatically direct, and built on temperature contrast rather than value opposition.
