Palette Analysis
history painting keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #90472D delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 57 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
