Automatic Painting keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #DBB77A at 2.7% is both the most chromatic and one of the largest colours in the palette - chroma as mass rather than as highlight. Spanning 48 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation.
