Palette Analysis
Ukiyo-e is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. A single dominant - #E9D7BB at 39.0% - sets the character of the whole composition. #B17F80 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (0.7%). A value spread of 67 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
