Use the accent (#5BB5C9) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
Blend the second color (#F6C85F) into the detail color (#F6DBA2) for a soft transition.
Blend the main color (#F28C6E) into the highlight (#FDBDAA) for a soft transition.
Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
