Color choices

This dragline excavator scoops earth from an open mine, its long cables stretching down to the bucket below. Try a bright color for the excavator’s body, and a contrasting shade for its tracks and towering frame. Give the scooped earth a rich brown, and fill the surrounding mountains and rocks with warm, earthy tones. Keep the sky and distant haze above the mine soft and pale.

Compare the excavator’s body and the scoop

Color the excavator’s body first, then use a contrasting palette for the scoop and the surrounding earth.
