Palette Analysis
Values in New Realism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #3A4260, registers at 12.0% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
