How the colors work

Leaf green leads with 24% of the painting, and linen follows with 23%.

Camel is the accent: only 5% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.

Its values run from 4 (aubergine gray) to 8 (linen), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.

Warm and cool are close to balanced: 51% warm, 32% cool.
