Surrealism keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Neither warm nor cool has the upper hand here; the equilibrium between the two generates the palette's visual energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The highest-chroma note - #C66A4C - appears at just 1.4%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
