Palette Analysis
yakusha-e is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. Cool hues prevail: blues, greens, and greys anchor the palette's emotional temperature. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The palette gives 28.6% of the composition to a single #C9BA9E - a decisive chromatic anchor. Only 3.0% is devoted to #C29170, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 54 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
