Values in Albert Bierstadt rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 11.8% is devoted to #87573A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. In the context of Albert Bierstadt's full range of palettes, group 17 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
