Values in Costumbrismo rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #919653, is reserved to 5.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
