wildlife painting distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. 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. #584028 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.2%). The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
