Palette Analysis

The value structure of Social Realism is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. Only 6.7% is devoted to #783D2C, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Value range is moderate at 50 units - enough contrast for legibility, not so much as to fragment the tonal unity.
