How the colors work
Jet leads with 31% of the painting, and slate green follows with 20%.
Its values run from 2 (jet) to 6 (camel), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Most of it is near-neutral (73% 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.
