Colour and tone presentation

Working with a limited colour palette can ensure that the piece doesn't get too busy and can make a complicated image a lot calmer and approachable to a wide audience. Often using a family of colours and an accent colour, like the Disney images below, can create cohesive colour schemes which still have enough diversity to add interest.

Playing with colour and using intuition can help your colour skills develop drastically

Contrast, accent, compliment, harmonise and vary are all important terminology to consult when thinking about colour
