How the colors work
Mole leads with 20% of the painting, and olive drab follows with 19%.
Persimmon is the accent: only 2% of the painting, but strong enough to catch the eye.
Its values run from 2 (charcoal) to 6 (taupe), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Most of it is near-neutral (63% of these colors): grays, browns and creams that let the few real colors speak.
Olive drab and violet sit on opposite sides of the color wheel, so each makes the other look stronger (see complementary colors).
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.
