Palette Analysis
mythological painting keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #3C3022 at 26.4% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #A76F3C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.9%). A value spread of 55 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
