nude painting (nu) sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. Only 5.7% is devoted to #B6562A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
