Coloring
Palettes, values, and flat color. The tool can propose. The mixture is still yours.
Check that flyer type can be read
Run the title and the date through a contrast checker, then look at the page in gray.
Lay flat color under the line you drew
Fill shapes you closed, on a layer beneath the ink. A colorize mask is only a first pass.
Make a small palette from one sentence
Turn a mood into five swatches, then mix them yourself. The hex codes are a hypothesis.
Plan values before you pick a hue
Reduce the picture to a few grays so color has a structure to sit on.
Try a local color pass on a duplicate
If you use a diffusion plugin, keep it on your machine, on a copy, and paint over it.
Try color variants without losing the original
Recolor a vector for a poster or a shirt study, and keep the file from before the experiment.
