Getting the values right from the beginning made this one easy to paint. I think that beautiful color is rooted first in value relationships. After that temperature is more important than the exact hue choice, and chroma (or intensity) sets the mood.

Problems with color are almost never problems with color. They are almost always problems with value. (Eric Wiegardt)Bowing to value can liberate color options, so color can waltz in the back door and right on down to the front row while value is being courted at the front door. (Emily Moore)

It is the relationship of value and intensity that is essential to using color well. If you master value and intensity, you will go a long way to expressing any mood you desire. (Stephen Quiller)

Value does all the work and color gets all the glory. (unknown)
