Romanesque occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. At 9.4%, #C49980 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 63 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
