Values in still life rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #A85F4A delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation.
