Palette Analysis
Shin-hanga works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. A single dominant - #415172 at 30.2% - sets the character of the whole composition. The most saturated colour, #E88D66, is reserved to 0.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The value range of 44 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
