Having similar color values can make your art look unfinished and not stand out well. Personally I like to have at least 1 light value 1 dark value and some in between values. This also applies to illustrations
You can see the value of your colors by using the grayscale filter on ibis paint
in drawings and character designs don’t be afraid to use some muted colors sometimes. When used well it can enhance the colors that aren’t muted
If you have trouble picking colors for a character design I suggest looking at your characters personality traits and choosing some colors that respond with those traits, I don’t always do this but I did this with my lirian characters and got some nice color inspiration. Look at already existing color patterns and character designs you like the colors of
Colors can guide the viewers eye to where you want them to look
Dispersing your colors evenly in a character design is important. Yes out of place colors can guide a viewers eyes as stated above but depending on how it’s done it could look bad. If your character has a color palette with more darker colors I suggest using the lighter colors to guide the eyes to where people should look
Hope these tips help anyone who finds coloring difficult
