Values in history painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #5C3327 - appears at just 7.6%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 58 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
