Values in Vladimir Borovikovsky rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #AE2B19 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (3.3%). The value range spans 63 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Vladimir Borovikovsky's complete body of work advances.
