The high-key values of Surrealism give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #D5C2A9, is reserved to 9.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 50 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
