Mid-key values give still life its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The highest-chroma note - #A0592C - appears at just 7.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The value range of 51 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette reads as an Impressionist one - light-biased, chromatically direct, and built on temperature contrast rather than value opposition.
