Nicolae Darascu is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Nicolae Darascu builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The saturated accent, #CA8366, registers at 4.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range of 51 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 3 of Nicolae Darascu's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
