Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Ukiyo-e its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Built on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. At 2.9%, #BB5A45 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. The full value range is 58 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
