nude painting (nu) keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. #AE622F delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range of 51 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
