Color Experiment (Patreon)

I've been creating a custom swatch library designed around making it easier to choose colors by dividing them up into 90 sets of hue bases with 390 colors each of varying saturation and brightness (there is a mix of automation and manual effort required to make it, hence why it's still an "in progress" thing).
(As an example, Nanase's pants and gloves/boots are different colors from the same hue set of swatches)
My experiment here was character color palettes over a background, and how to make the shadows work in a way that doesn't take CENTURIES. Basically, I went with a simple black 30% opacity layer, and a duplicate layer that instead just SLIGHTLY ups the saturation of the shadows.
I was hoping to get away with just one shadow layer, but I wasn't happy with any of the results from that.
