Palette Analysis

Magic Realism occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #5D4737, is reserved to 10.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 58 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
