Palette Analysis
The value structure of battle painting is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #725948, registers at 8.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
