Pavel Filonov Palette 5

Palette Analysis

Pavel Filonov occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #96575C, registers at 4.3% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. In the context of Pavel Filonov's full range of palettes, group 5 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
