The palette of allegorical painting sits in the lower register of the value scale - dense, contained, and weighted. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. 25.3% of the palette belongs to #100D0E, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. Only 2.3% is devoted to #C39E65, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 66 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Together these qualities place the palette firmly in the tonal tradition - concerned with mood and atmosphere rather than chromatic display.
