How the colors work
Camel leads with 24% of the print, and denim follows with 22%.
Its values run from 2 (ink blue) to 7 (oat), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Warm and cool are close to balanced: 56% warm, 34% cool.
Camel and denim 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.
