Description Just some random color palettes for for those who can't think of any.
I'll probably add more as I think of them.

Just some color tips for you guys, now.

Avoid using grey!
Grey is a boring color. Slightly tint it! It will make the mood more visible! (Tint as in very, very lightly tinted, like the metallics or #C3C8CB.)
If you're shading over a white/grey color, don't use grey. Try using other colors! If you use two separate blurry colors as shading it can look actually pearly~
(...Well, unless you're making B/W drawings purposefully.)

Avoid grey shades!
This is said in a lot of guides, but NEVER choose a darker color by moving your little color picker down a bit to make it darker. Swing it slightly into a different color, and your picture will look nicer.

Use the appropriate colors for the appropriate pictures!
Now, this is not absolutely necessary, but it's pretty useful. If your character is in a certain scene, give it a slight hint of color to help make the mood match! For example, if it's looking up at a dark night, tint your character slightly blue/purple to match the mood, or maybe an red/orange/pink for a sunset~

I'll probably type more later, but it's just about bedtime. xD
