I think playing around with colors is probably the best way to find the "right" colors. Bengoshia's palette isn't as .... well bland because of something called contrast. Let's look at what gives him a stronger palette.

I think the darkest color he uses really separates parts. Wish I could think of more helpful advice but my brain has been very tempermental recently.

I won't make dumb jokes ever again. Not in this thread at least.
