flower painting works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 5.3%, #94975E carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
