New Realism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 6.3% is devoted to #B38B54, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The value range of 54 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme.
