Palette Analysis
Konstantin Somov is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The highest-chroma note - #D9CCA6 - appears at just 6.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. Spanning 51 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 2 of Konstantin Somov's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
