self-portrait distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The saturated accent, #C09D62, registers at 1.6% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 65 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
