Palette Analysis

trompe-l'œil sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #B28654 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 63 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
