Values in Masaccio rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Masaccio favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #CF9140 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.9%). A value spread of 74 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Masaccio arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
