battle painting keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 5.0% is devoted to #DACAA5, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
