How the colors work
Umber rules this painting: it covers 48%, close to half of it.
Brick is the accent: only 3% of the painting, but strong enough to catch the eye.
Light and dark are far apart: from greige at value 8 down to umber 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 46%, cool ones under 1%.
The same colors in gray
