How the colors work
Stone leads with 32% of the painting, and cocoa follows with 19%.
Copper is the accent: only 4% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.
All six colors sit close in light, between value 4 and 7 on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white), which keeps the painting soft and even.
Most of it is near-neutral (67% 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.
