Palette Analysis
Realism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 8.8%, #986E46 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
