The high-key values of Vasily Surikov give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones from Vasily Surikov carry the compositional weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The saturated accent, #B19677, registers at 4.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 33 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. This is palette 2 of Vasily Surikov's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
