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. The dominant colour, #161415, takes 27.8% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #91432B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.4%). At 67 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
