Vladimir Borovikovsky occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Temperature is balanced: the palette pits warm earth against cool sky without declaring a winner. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #704423 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.0%). 73 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Vladimir Borovikovsky's complete body of work advances.
