The high-key values of Konstantinos Maleas give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #BCA497 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.6%). The value range of 42 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. This is palette 1 of Konstantinos Maleas's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
