Mid-key values give religious painting its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #7E552E, registers at 7.9% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 58 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
