The high-key values of Boris Grigoriev give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 7.5% is devoted to #965D43, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 44 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Boris Grigoriev's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
