Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give yakusha-e its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Temperature reads distinctly warm: the reds and earth tones carry the compositional weight. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The palette gives 28.5% of the composition to a single #E9D0B4 - a decisive chromatic anchor. #B58A6F functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (5.9%). 51 units of value spread create a palette that is varied but unified - contrast in the service of harmony.
