religious painting is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. 39.4% of the palette belongs to #EFEEEE, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #C7621E delivers the chromatic peak at only 1.7% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 77 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
