Victor Borisov-Musatov keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Victor Borisov-Musatov builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #AA8358 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (1.8%). 53 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Palette 4 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Victor Borisov-Musatov's complete body of work advances.
