Surrealism sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #47352C, registers at 8.7% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. 55 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
