Palette Analysis
Japonism works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. #E59A2C at 26.6% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. Rather than a studied accent, #956A33 takes 6.3% - a bold allocation that saturates the composition's atmosphere. The full value range is 60 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
