The value structure of religious painting is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 6.1%, #D0B58E carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 65 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
