Darkness anchors Alexei Korzukhin; light is rationed, creating dramatic contrast rather than open air. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #1A2A26, is reserved to 12.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 63 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This tonal restraint is characteristic of the Alexei Korzukhin approach: colour serves light, not the reverse. This is palette 8 of Alexei Korzukhin's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
