Palette Analysis
Ukiyo-e distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warm hues command this palette; it favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. #E5CDAC delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.9% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range spans 68 units across the palette, providing the full gamut from deep shadow to near-white and ensuring clear tonal hierarchy.
