Wu Daozi Master Palette

Palette Analysis

Wu Daozi occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Wu Daozi favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #59292E is not a small accent - at 10.0% it qualifies as a major presence and gives the palette its chromatic identity. At 42 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is the light Wu Daozi preferred, made measurable.
