Ivan Aivazovsky occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #EAE2BD delivers the chromatic peak at only 4.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 68 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 13 of Ivan Aivazovsky's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
