For Marker Artists

muted blue tones with a split-analogous purple accent — a cool palette. The 80-point value spread (12% to 92% 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.
