Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give self-portrait its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. The dominant colour, #D3844C, takes 31.5% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. The highest-chroma note - #E9B069 - appears at just 7.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 60 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
