How the colors work
Camel leads with 21% of the painting, and chalk follows with 20%.
Light and dark are far apart: from chalk at value 9 down to plum black at 3, on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white). That range gives the painting its strong contrast.
It leans warm: warm colors cover 65%, cool ones under 1%.
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.
