How the colors work
Pistachio rules this painting: it covers 51%, more than all the other colors together.
Olive is the accent: only 4% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.
Light and dark are far apart: from pistachio at value 8 down to deep 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 89%, warm ones 6%.
