The palette of still life sits in the lower register of the value scale - dense, contained, and weighted. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #151210 at 39.8% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The highest-chroma note - #CEA252 - appears at just 1.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Together these qualities place the palette firmly in the tonal tradition - concerned with mood and atmosphere rather than chromatic display.
