How the colors work
Greige rules this painting: it covers 49%, close to half of it.
Caramel is the accent: only 1% of the painting, but strong enough to catch the eye.
Light and dark are far apart: from greige at value 9 down to dark slate at 2, on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white). That range gives the painting its strong contrast.
It leans cool: cool colors cover 42%, warm ones 1%.
Blue and caramel 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.
