The value structure of still life is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. #AA2820 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.7%). The full value range is 68 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette reads as an Impressionist one - light-biased, chromatically direct, and built on temperature contrast rather than value opposition.
