How the colors work
Olive leads with 25% of the painting, and bronze follows with 22%.
Light and dark are far apart: from pale sky at value 8 down to bronze at 2, on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white). That range gives the painting its strong contrast.
It leans warm: warm colors cover 70%, cool ones 9%.
The same colors in gray
