Values in New Realism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The most saturated colour, #EBAD70, is reserved to 7.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range spans 63 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
