Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give trompe-l'Ã Âil its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 31.0%, #FFFFFE functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. The most saturated colour, #662E15, is reserved to 4.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 78 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
