Ukiyo-e sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. The most saturated colour, #D2A677, is reserved to 6.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 68 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
