flower painting keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. The palette is built on fully saturated hues, achieving its effects through colour opposition rather than value contrast. #E42F2E at 47.7% is both the most chromatic and one of the largest colours in the palette - chroma as mass rather than as highlight. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
