How the colors work
Pale oat leads with 32% of the painting, and oat follows with 23%.
Its values run from 3 (espresso) to 7 (pale oat), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Most of it is near-neutral (67% 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.
