Palette Analysis
Utagawa Kunisada is high in key: pale, luminous, and filled with optical air. The dominant temperature is warm, with earth tones and fire-hues setting the emotional key. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #BB6446 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (2.1%). A value spread of 64 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. This is palette 1 of Utagawa Kunisada's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
