Light floods New Realism; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #815438, is reserved to 6.1% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
