Limiting ones palette to no more than three colors achieves a number of positive things for the artist. First, the composition is strongly unified and harmonious because one is mixing the colors to be used and they are therefore closely related no matter where they appear in the painting. Second, the painting conveys a mood: brilliant hues producing a bright scene, subdued hues conveying a more somber scene. Third, when the color palette is limited, it leads to a more careful consideration of composition and value to achieve strong paintings. There are a wide variety of limited palettes to produce paintings that are unified, convey a mood, and are strongly stated.
