Palette Analysis
New Realism works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The highest-chroma note - #629F9A - appears at just 4.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. At 46 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.
