Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give still life its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 9.3% is devoted to #603A29, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 71 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
