Help needed for House Color

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Hi, everyone! I need your opinion. I’ve been working on an illustration. I can’t decide on the color for the house behind the kids. Originally it was that purple one below but someone suggested I should try another color. I’ve come up with four choices below. I need your help deciding on which one. What are you thoughts guys? Thank you so much.

I prefer the first image (yellow house.) The pink and purple versions draw your eye to the house when it isn't really the focal point of the image

If you use color theory then a light red orange would probably be the best choice so I’m leaning towards orange house but since your mermaid is already in the reddish orange hue that would compete with her and you have yellows and oranges in the children, so I think your purple is a good choice too, it’s just too bright, too saturated. If you desaturate the purple it might still work.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz personally I prefer the second choice as the saturation level looks more in keeping with the other colours. Nice work Nyrrly.

Mark me down as in favor of the orange house.

My vote is for the second orange house! lovely.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I dig the bottom left because cool colors recede and it lets us focus on the foreground characters. Ah, choices

Cute stuff

My vote's for the top left. I'd go in whatever direction helps to contrast against that mermaid's tail. So I might knock the house back even a bit further (or just have a slight halo around the tail).

Honestly enough, though, I kinda like the original purple (or the pinkish one beside it). This seems like it wants to be a colourful piece!

I actually prefer the pink. I agree that the purple might take the focus from the kids, but I think the pink enhances it, by making the background behind the kids stronger. It kind of keeps your eye in the picture.

Hi, everyone! So I decidedto go with the orange/yellow color. Thank you so much for the help.

@eriberart @burvantill @CosmoglotJay @Braden-Hallett @deborah-Haagenson @Laurel-Aylesworth @peteolczyk @Suji-Park Thank you so much for your help guys!

[deborah Haagenson]

It looks great! I love your rendering style too. I am just starting to work with digital, so my style needs a lot of work. Being able to see work like yours is an inspiration!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@deborah-Haagenson thanks!

[braden H]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Nice! I really like how it turned out
