Values in self-portrait tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #836041, registers at 8.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 60 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
