Palette Analysis
The value structure of Ukiyo-e is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. All colours lean toward grey, building depth through value rather than colour punch. The most saturated colour, #A4624A, is reserved to 3.4% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. At 53 units across the value scale, the palette keeps contrast readable without letting it dominate.
