Mid-key values give Giovanni (Nino) Costa its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #AB874F, registers at 11.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. The palette is recognisably Giovanni (Nino) Costa's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
