Palette Analysis
The value structure of Ukiyo-e is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #D3B05B, is reserved to 1.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls.
