Palette Analysis
Light floods Nihonga; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues deployed as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The palette gives 52.3% of the composition to a single #E8C79B - a decisive chromatic anchor. At 0.8%, #BF6340 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The value range spans 79 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
