flower painting occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. Rather than a studied accent, #D79943 takes 6.2% - a bold allocation that saturates the composition's atmosphere. The value range of 44 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
