Subdued hues

In contrast to my previous post I have been looking at artwork with more subdued and harmonious colours. The piece below and to the left is 'Aoigaoka Waterfall in the Eastern Capital' by Katsushika Hokusai. The pale yellows, greens and blues sit well together and as a whole the image exudes tranquility. In the artwork next to it for the game 'Okami' there is also a harmonious colour scheme, however the image is broken up with high contrast and striking oranges pushing the protagonist forward from the brown hues of the background, possibly symbolising his strength.
