Palette Analysis

Analytical Cubism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #B49265, registers at 6.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 71 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
