How the colors work
Putty leads with 36% of the painting, and khaki follows with 34%.
Its values run from 3 (bark) to 8 (putty), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Most of it is near-neutral (89% of these colors): grays, browns and creams that let the few real colors speak.
