Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give still life its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #934F32, registers at 7.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 63 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
