Color Palette Drawing Prompts
Limit first, then decide boldly. Pick a dominant (~70%), a support (~20%), and a spice (~10%). Swatch by value so you know which hue is actually your “dark.” Underpaint two values and confirm the read before laying color. Neutralize the dominant, not the accent—your spice pops without going neon.
Keep the palette honest throughout the scene by choosing one temperature bias (warm or cool) and letting the opposite appear only in the accent. If saturation climbs everywhere, mute one zone to recover focus.
