Ukiyo-e is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #94583C delivers the chromatic peak at only 2.2% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The full value range is 65 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form.
