Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give nude painting (nu) its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 5.4%, #8C5139 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
