Palette Analysis
The high-key values of Kitagawa Utamaro give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Kitagawa Utamaro deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #E0AD6C functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (4.1%). A value spread of 65 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette is recognisably Kitagawa Utamaro's own: particular in its temperature, chroma, and the economy of its brightest note.
