Vasily Vereshchagin keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. Only 2.4% is devoted to #8E5031, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is the light Vasily Vereshchagin preferred, made measurable.
