Henrietta Rae distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 5.0%, #3E1808 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 65 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. These proportions encode Henrietta Rae's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
