Acknowledgment

It should be noted that official CMYK values for the colors presented here are not available. The RGB values provided are estimates, intended to offer a general representation of each color. Due to variations in color across different oil painting brands, these values may not fully capture the true shades. It is important to recognize that RGB and CMYK function differently: RGB represents the color of light (additive primary colors), where mixing results in lighter shades. In contrast, CMYK is used for pigment or print colors (subtractive primary colors), where mixing typically results in darker tones. Therefore, caution is advised when using these estimates, as inaccuracies may exist.
