Values in symbolic painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is moderate: colours carry enough saturation to be read as colour, but the palette stops well short of garish intensity. The most saturated colour, #764B2C, is reserved to 5.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 60 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
