Magic Realism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 4.1% is devoted to #857133, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. At 41 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
