Values in flower painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #5365B4 at 22.1% is both the most chromatic and one of the largest colours in the palette - chroma as mass rather than as highlight. Spanning 36 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
