Palette Analysis
Rococo is low-key throughout, a quality associated with Nocturnal Bister - deep shadows dominate the composition. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #4E2F19 - appears at just 9.9%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 60 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The combination of low values, muted chroma, and compressed range is the signature of the Tonalist mode - painting as atmosphere.
