Palette Analysis
Keisai Eisen distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. 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. #D8CDBC at 27.2% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The most saturated colour, #2C3946, is reserved to 5.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 62 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 10 of Keisai Eisen's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
