Still Life

Brooding Schist
Brooding Low-key and emotionally weighted - dark values with a sense of psychological depth.
Schist Layered dark gray - the color of metamorphic schist rock, cool and mineral.

Palette Analysis

"Still Life" reads as a shadowed, muted-saturation cool palette built around Cool Grey and Sage. Color weight is spread without a single dominant note. A low-prevalence accent at #A55B4B pulls the eye.
