battle painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 9.0%, #A98254 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
