The value structure of still life is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #C6A24B delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
