Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give history painting its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #CFBAA4 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.4%). 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
