flower painting sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #A24C35, registers at 4.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony.
