Mid-key values give Simon Ushakov its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Simon Ushakov builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The most saturated colour, #5F3417, is reserved to 8.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 57 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. 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 2 of Simon Ushakov's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
