Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #9D472A - appears at just 4.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 69 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. These proportions encode Pericles Pantazis's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
