These earthy neutrals create a grounded backdrop that lets the drama of the scene speak for itself - a good example is VOC Battle painting. Paintings from the Golden Age of the Netherlands.

The grey clouds in VOC Naval battle painting: The capture of the Royal Prince complement modern industrial spaces while adding a layer of historic depth.
