Palette Analysis

Sanyu is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Sanyu tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #EBE5D8 delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.3% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 74 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. Sanyu's palette 5 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
