How the colors work
Deep lichen leads with 30% of the painting, and pale umber follows with 18%.
Light and dark are far apart: from greige at value 8 down to oxblood 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 49%, cool ones under 1%.
