Iconographic Colors
The color palette is inspired by the Orthodox icon painter's tradition, informed by Dionysius of Fourna's Painter's Manual (Hermeneia, circa 1730) and Leonid Ouspensky's Theology of the Icon (1978). Hex values are aesthetic choices faithful to the tradition, not canonical references.
