Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give vanitas its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The saturated accent, #C96218, registers at 10.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 47 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation.
