Mid-key values give miniature its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #8D5A35 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.4%). The value range of 46 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
