Romanticism 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. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #CDA460 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.2%). The value range spans 66 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
