Values in Stefan Luchian rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #CBB796, is reserved to 7.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The palette spans 51 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Stefan Luchian's palette 9 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
