Quiet woodland color: lichenous greens, soft shadow, and warm breaks of sun. Two natural green earths deliver believable foliage and ground; Yellow Ocher Light steadies and warms.
Build convincing greens with the Forest Floor Triad.
Layer the green earths for texture; use ocher to catch sunlight. Extend darks and tree-bark notes with the Companion Colors below.
