How the colors work
Slate green leads with 20% of the painting, and mahogany follows with 11%.
Cognac is the accent: only 1% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.
Its values run from 1 (ink brown) to 5 (khaki), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Warm and cool are close to balanced: 35% warm, 52% cool.
Mahogany and verdigris 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 painting’s structure without its colors.
