“the classic stone-marble ground”TetradicMax value range The four pigments fall on two complementary axes — indigo↔madder (cool/warm) and gamboge↔malachite (yellow/green) — a balanced tetrad spanning the wheel. Crucially the cream ground sits near the top of the value scale, so every saturated drop reads as a luminous figure on a bright field — exactly how ink behaves on water. The canonical, museum-faithful choice. Recommended.

“the indigo shore”AnalogousComplementary accent Three neighbours on the cool side — indigo → river-blue → teal — give a calm, contemplative analogous sweep, while a single dilute rose madder sits opposite as the lone complementary spark (the 85/15 “neutral-with-accent” rule). Low-key and meditative; the warm accent earns its drama by scarcity.

“the Tulip Era”Split-complementaryTint ladder Built around madder as the dominant, answered not by one opposite but its two neighbours — gamboge gold and malachite — a split-complementary scheme that keeps tension without clashing. A gül-pink tint and a hyacinth violet nod to the lavish floral palettes of the 18th-c. Tulip Era. Opulent and festive.

“an autumn morning”Warm analogousLowered chroma A tight analogous band — gamboge → ochre → madder-brick — all warm, all slightly desaturated for an aged-manuscript hush, with one muted malachite as the cool complementary breath that keeps the warmth from going flat. The quietest, most antique option; lovely for restrained, single-sheet prints.
