Palette Analysis

Values in allegorical painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; it 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. #944D31 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.7%). At 61 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
