Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give nude painting (nu) its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 5.1% is devoted to #A75743, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 52 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
