  • Keep the background (#F4F1EC) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
  • Use the accent (#E6A188) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
  • Blend the accent (#E6A188) into the main color (#D2C1AC) for a soft transition.
  • Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
