still life works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 3.3%, #BE8F37 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
