For Marker Artists

muted orange tones with a complementary blue accent — a warm palette. The 58-point value spread (14% 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.
