How the colors work
Black green leads with 20% of the painting, and dark slate follows with 17%.
Its values run from 1 (black green) to 6 (stone), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Most of it is near-neutral (76% of these colors): grays, browns and creams that let the few real colors speak.
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.
