Mid-key values give Cubism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #A89A73, is reserved to 11.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 65 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
