allegorical painting occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #58281A - appears at just 6.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 56 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
