    Thank you, nerd of color theory and fashion. I saved this comment, and have attempted to apply your teachings to the character in question.

    For one, I used a blue scarf. For the second, I used a green scarf. Which do you think works best?

    (now that I look at it, the blue might be a bit too saturated)

    I could also experiment with using the alternate color in the armor highlights, if you think that would work well.

      Both work well, the very saturated blue is very striking and would be good if the character is meant to be a bit bold, whereas the green to me feels more reserved but also collected. And yeah experimenting with the alt colour could work well. I'd probably try to do the green scarf with an armour colour somewhere between the blue and green to get a nice dark teal.

        Something like this?

        I did hit the color limit (it's technically 16, but really 15 since I need to save a color for the background) so I had to cut the darkest green on the scarf, but I think I was able to get what you were describing. Could always adjust lightness and/or saturation, but I'm liking how it's looking! Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it catgirl-happy

        edit: wait a minute, I just realized the scarf somehow ended up darker on this version. Might be a bit too dark, I thought something looked different.

        edit 2: I know why I did that. If I use the lighter two colors instead of the darker two, it looks like it has even less depth.
