mythological painting occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #794726, registers at 7.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 63 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
