The high-key values of Martiros Sarian 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. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #DFBD82 delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 48 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. This is palette 2 of Martiros Sarian's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
