still life sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 5.6% is devoted to #D3A86E, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 58 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
