Palette Analysis

Mid-key values give Tonalism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 12.3% is devoted to #6D5F33, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 45 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
