Values in Nikolai Kulbin rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #BF5F2C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.4%). The palette spans 46 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 5 of Nikolai Kulbin's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
