Palette Analysis
Values in Symbolism tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #A7736B functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.5%). The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
