Palette Analysis
Rococo occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #C8AD7F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.4%). The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
