Nicholas Roerich is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #E4DED4 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.7%). Value range is moderate at 48 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 2 of Nicholas Roerich's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
