Values in Cubism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The highest-chroma note - #6B402E - appears at just 8.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 73 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
