Palette Characteristics
For Marker Artists
restrained yellow tones with a split-analogous red accent — a warm palette. The 70-point value spread (6% to 76% lightness) supports strong shadow-to-highlight transitions — useful for dramatic, theatrical, or high-contrast work. Moderate saturation gives flexibility between illustrative punch and atmospheric mood.
