Values in Magic Realism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. The highest-chroma note - #C36C41 - appears at just 10.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 63 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth.
