Ukiyo-e Palette 13

Palette Analysis

Ukiyo-e works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. The palette tilts toward cool - blues and silver-greys carry the structural weight. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The saturated accent, #B8855B, registers at 4.2% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
