self-portrait distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #966329 claims 29.2% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. The most saturated colour, #C5854B, is reserved to 5.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Value range is moderate at 51 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity.
