Contemporary Realism Palette 4

Palette Analysis

Values in Contemporary Realism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. The most saturated colour, #8B994D, is reserved to 4.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 42 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
