Mikhail Larionov Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Light floods Mikhail Larionov; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. #F9EC3E at 29.0% is both the most chromatic and one of the largest colours in the palette - chroma as mass rather than as highlight. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 71 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Mikhail Larionov's palette 3 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
