Palette Analysis
The value structure of American Realism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. #131310 claims 27.2% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. #BF6238 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.6%). A value spread of 70 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
