Albert Benois is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 7.1%, #896C4A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 64 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 3 of Albert Benois's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
