literary painting is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. 43.2% of the palette belongs to #E5E7DF, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. The most saturated colour, #5A502F, is reserved to 2.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 68 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
