Warm hues command this palette; Vasily Vereshchagin favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere.

From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 56 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
