How the colors work

Rust rules this painting: it covers 52%, more than all the other colors together.

Crimson is the accent: only 3% of the painting, but strong enough to catch the eye.

Its values run from 3 (crimson) to 8 (cream), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.

It leans warm: warm colors cover 100%, cool ones under 1%.
