How the colors work
Jet leads with 33% of the print, and deep midnight follows with 31%.
Straw is the accent: only 1% of the print, but enough to lift the rest.
Light and dark are far apart: from linen at value 8 down to jet at 1, on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white). That range gives the print its strong contrast.
Warm and cool are close to balanced: 35% warm, 32% cool.
Deep midnight and straw sit on opposite sides of the color wheel, so each makes the other look stronger (see complementary colors).
The same colors in gray
Each color beside its value, from light to dark. Painters check this to see the print’s structure without its colors.
