Realism Palette 5

Palette Analysis

Light floods Realism; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #837D45, is reserved to 3.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 62 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
