Bister Dark warm brown - a traditional ink and wash pigment made from wood soot.
Palette Analysis
Realism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The highest-chroma note - #CDBB91 - appears at just 6.5%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 66 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
