}How to make a palette that holds a story
Start with one hue that already belongs to the scene: lamp light, a coat, the sky before a storm. Grow the rest of the set from that hue instead of collecting five unrelated favorites.
Keep one color loud. In comics, the loud color is usually blood, signage, or the thing the eye should find first. The other four colors should make that one look inevitable.
Check contrast on cream and on ink. A palette that only works on white will fail the moment you drop it onto a night panel.
