Palette Analysis
Values in Ukiyo-e rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #973E2D, is reserved to 3.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
