Palette Analysis

Values in history painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. Only 3.1% is devoted to #CD662D, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 50 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
