still life sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #C0A771 delivers the chromatic peak at only 11.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
