Palette Analysis
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warm hues command this palette; Tsukioka Yoshitoshi favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #DDB487, is reserved to 8.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 63 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's palette 10 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
