Ishbrown for me.

Suggests I am bland. Camouflage. Analysis good.

Disagree about Durelin. Think burnt umber. Barely agree on Brinn as phthalo. Suggest Titanium instead. Naples yellow light for Nog. Yellow ochre for Gwath. Lari as shinoku. On a good firing.

Color = fascinating.

But confusing.

Ergo, burnt umber = chocolatey brown. = neutral tone, used as darkening agent. Also used in underpainting: most effective under the surface. Durelin as burnt umber = she is too subtle, and feels too dark, yet is still neutral. Cool tone.

Phthalo is cool, soft. Titanium = white. Overwhelming. Brinn feels titanium, always.

Naples yellow = bright; naples light = common skin tone. Suggest, Nog is what on the surface he appears to be.

Yellow ochre = sometimes overwhelming sunflower color. Too bright. Too abrupt. Dislike stylistically, but find useful and interesting.

Shinoku. Glaze. If surrounded by too much heat, comes off as bad. Lari = metaphorical pot: shinoku is good, just sometimes seems not.

No codes from me. Just colors, with explanations.
