Gamboge Deep golden yellow - a traditional warm pigment, rich amber-gold.
Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Social Realism its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 11.0% is devoted to #735C3A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 42 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama.
