For Marker Artists

restrained orange tones with an analogous orange accent — a warm palette. The 38-point value spread (8% to 46% lightness) supports solid tonal depth — enough range for convincing form while keeping the palette unified. Restrained saturation keeps the palette cohesive — individual colors don't fight for attention.
