Values in self-portrait rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #AA7656, registers at 2.8% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 60 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
