Palette Analysis
The value structure of American Realism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #A57A4C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (7.2%). The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
