nude painting (nu) sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. #522B20 delivers the chromatic peak at only 9.8% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony.
