The value structure of Nicolae Darascu is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #CABBA6, registers at 9.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. Spanning 52 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Nicolae Darascu's palette 4 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
