Symbolism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #B89B7C, registers at 4.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
