Light floods Magic Realism; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 8.7% is devoted to #CDB78D, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 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.
