Palette Analysis
Nihonga is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. The palette balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. At 3.6%, #C46A52 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. At 62 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings.
