How the colors work

Oat rules this print: it covers 82%, more than all the other colors together.

Straw is the accent: only 2% of the print, but enough to lift the rest.

Its values run from 3 (cocoa) to 7 (oat), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.

It leans warm: warm colors cover 85%, cool ones 1%.
