Palette Characteristics
For Marker Artists
atmospheric (near-neutral) blue tones with a triadic red accent — a cool palette. The 84-point value spread (6% to 90% lightness) supports strong shadow-to-highlight transitions — useful for dramatic, theatrical, or high-contrast work. Low saturation keeps the colors near-neutral — they read as environmental tone rather than color statement.
