Just to let you know, I teach color theory, and I am certified by Michael Wilcox*. So, if you have questions regarding use of color, color mixing, paint properties (oil is my primary medium but I am very familiar with acrylics and watercolors), archival qualities of commercially available colors, etc., please feel free to comment - - I love to talk color! 
The image below is a bad photo of another value study, this one more carefully done. It was done as a study of the color "white", and everything in it is white, the exception being the maple tabletop. The values do not show very clearly in the photo, but you get the idea.
