Light floods Naturalism; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #F2E3C5 claims 34.3% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. The most saturated colour, #735C30, is reserved to 3.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 71 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
