Values in Neo-Figurative Art rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 9.1%, #AA826E carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range of 47 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
