Values in Giovanni (Nino) Costa rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The chromatic peak belongs to #78704C, and at 9.4% it dominates, not decorates. 27 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Giovanni (Nino) Costa's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
