Tomato # 168

Cadmium Lemon, Quinacridone Red, Thalo Turquoise and Titanium White

This tomato started out shrieking bright green. Thalo Turquoise and Cadmium Lemon result in eye -popping, intense color; add Thalo Turq. and Q. Red and you get an intense purple. What I started with was high drama. I ended up with another soft and subtle tomato. Nice pink/coral lights and purple/coral shadows. The cast shadow is a much cooler purple. The background is a warm green made of all three colors-mostly yellow and white. I think the way the warm lights and cool shadows work are successful here- color harmony being the end result.
