portrait occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #9D4D31 - appears at just 4.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 60 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
