Palette Analysis

Ivan Argunov occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Ivan Argunov builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. A single dominant - #15101A at 37.2% - sets the character of the whole composition. #2B3B54 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.2%). At 72 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Ivan Argunov's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
