Palette Analysis

The value structure of yakusha-e is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The saturated accent, #CBBAA1, registers at 10.4% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. A value spread of 57 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source.
