Konstantinos Maleas Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Values in Konstantinos Maleas tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. At 3.9%, #A97B69 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range of 51 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. 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 3 of Konstantinos Maleas's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
