How the colors work
Greige leads with 37% of the painting, and putty follows with 15%.
Caramel is the accent: only 1% of the painting, but strong enough to catch the eye.
Its values run from 4 (graphite) to 8 (greige), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Most of it is near-neutral (83% of these colors): grays, browns and creams that let the few real colors speak.
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.
