Surrealism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. At 9.9%, #823D2A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 57 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
