Yakusha-e Palette 10

Palette Analysis

The high-key values of yakusha-e give it an effulgent, almost bleached quality. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. #D0C0A7 claims 31.1% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. Only 0.6% is devoted to #CDAE61, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The full value range is 71 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
