Palette Analysis
Light floods Ukiyo-e; the palette keeps values pale and airy across its range. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 3.6% is devoted to #A84F3A, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 65 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.
