Symbolism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The artist keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #4E557B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.2%). The value range of 52 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
