Values in Nikolai Kulbin tilt decisively toward white, giving the palette its luminous character. Nikolai Kulbin builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #EAE9D8 claims 41.9% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. #171C2E functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.6%). The value range spans 71 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Nikolai Kulbin's complete body of work advances.
