symbolic painting sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #D0AC76 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 70 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
