Isaac Levitan works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 6.0% is devoted to #94BCCA, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Isaac Levitan's complete body of work advances.
