Palette Analysis
Vartan Mahokian keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 6.2% is devoted to #5D4D37, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 44 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 2 of Vartan Mahokian's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
