If you are painting with a warm palette, the closer you get to grey is the closer you'll get to cold colors. On the flipside, if you're using a cold palette, the opposite is true. This is how I get dynamic colors while still maintaining the same warm or cool tone of the painting
It's shocking that the stereotype of queer people is us screaming when someone misgenders us when the majority of queer ppl i know put up with misgendering for safety reasons and then get ranted at by a drunk uncle on the occasions we're outed by someone else.
