Palette Analysis

self-portrait sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #5D382C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (11.0%). 65 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
