Shin-hanga distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #E6BAC3 delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 55 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
