Values in Tonalism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #CFB17E - appears at just 11.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 42 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
