animal painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #CBB17E, is reserved to 3.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
