Tom,
That may be the academic line, but people neither talk or think in that way. It also depends on if one is thinking of additive, or subtractive color. Tell an interior designer there is no such thing as "too black". Slightly?!?

As "too real" does not have a definition, I have given it one by juxtaposing it to hyperbole, and the both being connected by a middle ground that is ambiguous.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
