Ivan Mrkvi?ka sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Ivan Mrkvi?ka tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 8.5% is devoted to #A9977E, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 57 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Ivan Mrkvi?ka's complete body of work advances.
