Coloring tips

Shade the main color (#8CA75A) with the shadow color (#1F2418): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
Keep the background (#F4F2EA) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
Use the accent (#E79387) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
Blend the second color (#C5A67B) into the accent (#E79387) for a soft transition.
Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
