New Realism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The highest-chroma note - #B8A58A - appears at just 8.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 51 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony.
