Palette Analysis
What unites the New Realism movement is as much chromatic as stylistic; this palette traces that unspoken agreement. New Realism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #D64D35, is reserved to 1.6% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The New Realism movement spoke in this palette's vocabulary.
