religious painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #9A553D, registers at 4.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 66 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
