Ivan Argunov keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The saturated accent, #D8C7A5, registers at 7.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 55 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 1 of Ivan Argunov's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
