Palette Characteristics
For Marker Artists
restrained blue tones with a complementary orange accent — a cool palette. The 62-point value spread (10% to 72% lightness) supports strong shadow-to-highlight transitions — useful for dramatic, theatrical, or high-contrast work. Restrained saturation keeps the palette cohesive — individual colors don't fight for attention.
