Palette Analysis

Rococo occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #AF8748, is reserved to 4.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 52 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
