Light floods Nikolai Suetin; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is held at a comfortable level - distinct colours, but no single hue is allowed to overwhelm. Only 6.2% is devoted to #BF6C2D, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Nikolai Suetin's complete body of work advances.
