How the colors work
Verdigris leads with 34% of the painting, and jet follows with 7%.
Sage is the accent: only 4% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.
Light and dark are far apart: from sand at value 7 down to jet at 1, on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white). That range gives the painting its strong contrast.
It leans cool: cool colors cover 67%, warm ones 16%.
Blue and cognac sit on opposite sides of the color wheel, so each makes the other look stronger (see complementary colors).
The same colors in gray
Each color beside its value, from light to dark. Painters check this to see the painting’s structure without its colors.
