Palette Characteristics
For Marker Artists
muted orange tones with a complementary blue accent โ a warm palette. The 59-point value spread (16% to 75% lightness) supports strong shadow-to-highlight transitions โ useful for dramatic, theatrical, or high-contrast work. Low saturation keeps the colors near-neutral โ they read as environmental tone rather than color statement.
