The high-key values of history painting give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #D0CECF claims 28.1% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. At 8.1%, #748351 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 69 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
