mythological painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 5.7%, #905E4E carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The palette spans 50 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
