Palette Analysis

still life keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #CFB36B, is reserved to 4.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony.
