What are some coloring tips for this page?

1. Layering: Start with lighter base colors and add darker shades for shadows and details like tire treads and panel lines.
2. Texture: Use short, directional strokes for a matte metal look on the chassis and cab. Consider using a blending technique for the missile canister to make it look smooth and cylindrical.
3. Camouflage: For a camouflage pattern, lightly pencil in irregular shapes before coloring. Use 2-4 colors from the same palette (like forest or desert) to fill them in.
4. Highlights: Leave a thin, white line or use a very light gray (#D3D3D3) along edges where the sun would naturally hit to create a 3D effect.
