Values in Raja Ravi Varma rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; Raja Ravi Varma 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. #D29C73 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.2%). A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Raja Ravi Varma's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
