• Blending: For a soft, dreamy effect, gently blend adjacent colors (like lavender into sky blue on the scarves).
• Highlighting: Leave tiny areas white or use a very light touch to suggest light reflecting off the jewelry and flowing hair.
• Background: Use very light, cool tones (#F0F8FF - Alice Blue) for the clouds to make the Apsara herself stand out.
