Oh, I hear you. Color is a real challenge, and even a couple of years of formal art training didn't help me ^^;; I am getting better at it now though, and seeing what you did with this one inspires me to give some of these color challenges a try!
HAHAH! You talking about it with me inspired me to do more XD Been a bit dry on art this week with moving, but it'd be fun to crack out some pallet challenges in the next week :3
