Mid-key values give pastorale its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #5D5732 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.8%). The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
