Values in Kitsch rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #E0D4C4 - appears at just 3.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 68 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
