How the colors work

Mint white rules this painting: it covers 41%, close to half of it.

Its values run from 5 (moss) to 9 (mint white), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.

Most of it is near-neutral (67% of these colors): grays, browns and creams that let the few real colors speak.
