How the colors work
Caramel leads with 20% of the painting, and linen follows with 15%.
Light and dark are far apart: from linen at value 8 down to ink brown at 1, 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 14%.
