Palette Analysis
Values in American Realism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. 30.0% of the palette belongs to #1B181A, a concentration that makes it the unmistakable visual centre. The highest-chroma note - #DACC96 - appears at just 6.3%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 71 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
