Ivan Aivazovsky is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The highest-chroma note - #725F4C - appears at just 2.7%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 59 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 12 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Ivan Aivazovsky's complete body of work advances.
