How the colors work
Stone leads with 25% of the painting, and chambray follows with 17%.
Clay is the accent: only 3% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.
Its values run from 3 (charcoal) to 7 (stone), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
It leans cool: cool colors cover 38%, warm ones 3%.
Chambray and clay 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.
