religious painting keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #794830 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.3%). The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
