Mykola Samokysh is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Mykola Samokysh carry the compositional weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. At 8.3%, #CCAE99 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 69 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 1 of Mykola Samokysh's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
