Ukiyo-e Palette 25

Palette Analysis

Ukiyo-e sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Colours are neither washed out nor blazing; they occupy the productive middle ground of the chroma scale. At 3.6%, #2F5C80 carries the palette's sharpest chromatic charge: an accent that earns its place precisely because it is withheld. 61 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
