Palette Analysis
The value structure of Cubism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #C39C40 - appears at just 4.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range spans 69 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
