Intermediate Color Scheme Palette in an Artwork

An Intermediate Color Scheme Palette in an Artwork consists of the colors yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet, red-orange, and yellow-orange. Palette in an artwork means that the artist prefers to use certain colors. In this case the artist would prefer to use the colors mentioned above. Steve DiBenedetto's Contact was created using all of the above colors and black. Contact puts a spin on the intermediate color scheme palette because the background is done in these colors, but they fade into black in certain spots and then appear again. A great place to see this is in the bottom right hand corner of the painting. It starts as black, fades into the intermediate colors, and then fades back to black. The tie-dyed circle and triangle in the center of the picture demonstrate the intermediate colors of yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet, red-orange, and yellow-orange.
