Mid-key values give animal painting its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #B48436 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 64 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
