The high-key values of Surrealism give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. A single dominant - #FCFBCB at 31.0% - sets the character of the whole composition. #802A22 delivers the chromatic peak at only 3.6% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. A value spread of 77 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
