Shades of grey – from almost black to almost white, veering towards blue or violet, and more towards brown or light beige.
The shades are taken from birds’ plumage. Any guesses which one is the hadeda, the heron, the duck and the cockatoo (there are two cockatoos)?

I immediately thought of this photo, which I took a few years ago.
