The value structure of nude painting (nu) is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #DCCAAF, is reserved to 7.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 55 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
