Synthetic Cubism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 8.9% is devoted to #B28B49, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 68 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
