The value structure of allegorical painting is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #D5BB91 delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
