Palette Analysis
Luis Meléndez occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey.

Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #5F4730 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.5%). The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
