Palette Analysis
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-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The saturated accent, #983439, registers at 5.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. At 46 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
