Mykola Samokysh occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #B25F55, is reserved to 3.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Mykola Samokysh arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
