Values in flower painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. 26.5% of the palette belongs to #201E1C, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #954934 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.8%). The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
