How the colors work
Azure leads with 23% of the painting, and sage gray follows with 15%.
Its values run from 2 (bronze) to 7 (sage gray), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
It leans cool: cool colors cover 69%, warm ones 26%.
Azure and mustard sit on opposite sides of the color wheel, so each makes the other look stronger (see complementary colors).
