Unfortunately, there is the problem of digital distortions though. But it is still great to learn the lesson regardless.

Hi October,
If you or anyone has Photoshop, this type of diagraming is not all that difficult to create. Just get an eyedropper color reading and paint a patch of that color wherever you desire. At times I have found it useful to diagram all the separate colors I need to paint a particular passage.
The attached image shows the amazing range of colors all in a soft green jacket I painted in
"Jane and Iona".
But just looking at the original reference photograph, you would not at first realize there could be so many greens needed to represent and convey the dimensionality of the garment. By the way, all these colors arranged in their original context read cohesively as "soft light green"! I'm not kidding.
