The value structure of Thomas Hill is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 8.3% is devoted to #BC985D, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. These proportions encode Thomas Hill's instinctive sense of how much of each quality the eye can hold.
