wildlife painting is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. 36.5% of the palette belongs to #E6C491, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. #CAAC4C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.7%). 71 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
