Nihonga Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Nihonga works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The dominant colour, #E6D7C6, takes 62.1% of the total area, establishing the overall mood before any other hue is introduced. #151621 delivers the chromatic peak at only 1.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 74 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
