Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Nikolai Kulbin carry the compositional weight. Saturation is measured and controlled, giving the palette presence without visual aggression. #E48438 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.3%). Spanning 51 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. This is palette 2 of Nikolai Kulbin's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
