Ivan Milev keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #C0AD6C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.0%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. Ivan Milev's palette 2 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
