For Marker Artists

moderate orange tones with a monochromatic orange accent — a warm palette. The 43-point value spread (12% to 55% lightness) supports solid tonal depth — enough range for convincing form while keeping the palette unified. Moderate saturation gives flexibility between illustrative punch and atmospheric mood.
