Values in Poster Art Realism rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. A restrained, mid-chroma palette: every hue is present and legible, but nothing shouts. The most saturated colour, #4A8525, is reserved to 6.7% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 75 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
