Nikolai Kulbin is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. Nikolai Kulbin gives 32.5% of the composition to a single #F1EFE4 - a decisive chromatic anchor. #CA3C55 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.3%). The full value range is 66 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. Nikolai Kulbin's palette 3 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
