Palette Analysis
Realism distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. At 10.1%, #C4AF8A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
