"Record number of LGBTQ candidates on the ballot"

Thumbnail

subject center · emotion: neutral · face medium · complementary · palette: Clear blue sky (cool), dark suit and tarmac (dark neutrals), red/white/blue flag bunting (patriotic accent). High value contrast between sky and subject, but the palette is naturalistic, not strategically designed for pop. No complementary color punch.
