Palette Analysis

Values in still life rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #853E2F - appears at just 7.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
