mythological painting occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #9C4F2D delivers the chromatic peak at only 6.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 59 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
