How the colors work

Oat leads with 31% of the painting, and cocoa follows with 19%.

Moss is the accent: only 2% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.

All five colors sit close in light, between value 4 and 7 on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white), which keeps the painting soft and even.

Warm and cool are close to balanced: 32% warm, 21% cool.
