Palette Analysis
Rococo occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #191717 at 26.8% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #CAA456 delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 64 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
