Creating a palette: When should I worry about colors? Well essentially what it comes down to is, what colors does the piece need to have? then, as I go, how far can I get with those (until of course I need to add more shades). This is a common method of creating a palette for a piece. As the piece gets more complex, it becomes necessary to create additional colors to achieve more advanced shading, or to color new image elements or details. Another method is to create the piece in shades of grey, then add color later. Personally I find it easier to keep up with colors as the piece progresses, so I prefer the first method.
