How the colors work

Slate green rules this painting: it covers 62%, more than all the other colors together.

Brick is the accent: only 1% of the painting, but strong enough to catch the eye.

Its values run from 2 (ink brown) to 7 (sand), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.

It leans cool: cool colors cover 68%, warm ones 5%.
