While the aesthetic of original Oceanic Art is so-called "primitive", the color palette tends more to the dark browns, greens and black, and the lines and forms are often elegant and smooth. This is even more the case in "Polynesian Pop", the 20th century re-interpretation of Oceanic Art. This is not a dogma, variety is the spice of life AND art, but just a preference I noticed.
