Konstantin Gorbatov Palette 10

Palette Analysis

Values in Konstantin Gorbatov rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #9C6045, is reserved to 4.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 44 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 10 of Konstantin Gorbatov's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
