Palette Analysis
Ukiyo-e is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. At 30.6%, #E2D4B9 functions less as a colour accent and more as a complete atmospheric environment. Only 2.5% is devoted to #86503D, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. A value spread of 59 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
