still life keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #A95C3A delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
