New Realism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Mid-saturation across the board: the palette has colour character without chromatic excess. The highest-chroma note - #C55638 - appears at just 6.0%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
