New Realism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 9.6%, #A19066 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 70 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
