portrait sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #935036 delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 64 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
