Light floods nude painting (nu); the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 4.7% is devoted to #B07441, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 60 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
