Palette Analysis

Values in history painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The saturated accent, #D5A15F, registers at 10.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
