history painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. A single dominant - #292326 at 25.3% - sets the character of the whole composition. #BD996F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.8%). The full value range is 63 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
