Palette Analysis

Shin-hanga occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #97C5C9, is reserved to 5.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. Spanning 54 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
