Palette Analysis
The value structure of figurative 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. #618498 delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
