Palette Analysis

Ukiyo-e keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Warmth dominates - the palette leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. At 7.6%, #82614A carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
