For Marker Artists

muted blue tones with an analogous purple accent — a cool palette. The 58-point value spread (14% to 72% 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.
