The value structure of religious painting is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 8.6%, #C6AA78 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 57 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
