What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layering: For the shining armor, try a base of light gray and add hints of blue (#E6F2FF) or purple (#E6E6FA) in the shadows to give it a metallic, reflective quality.
• Texture: Use small, circular strokes for the chainmail areas to create a linked texture. For the cape, try long, smooth strokes in one direction to show fabric flow.
• Background Magic: Make the scene magical by using light yellow (#FFFACD) or soft silver (#F8F8FF) to highlight the fairy tale elements in the background.
