Palette Analysis

Realism works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. 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. #BD9962 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.2%). 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
