Values in Vasile Popescu rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The most saturated colour, #D0B68C, covers 6.0% of the surface: too much to call an accent, too strong to ignore. 52 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. Palette 5 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Vasile Popescu's complete body of work advances.
