Values in Utagawa Kunisada rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Utagawa Kunisada balances warm and cool with remarkable evenness, giving the composition its characteristic vibrancy. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #815747, registers at 5.1% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. The value range of 50 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. This is palette 2 of Utagawa Kunisada's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
