What kind of demon do you sell your soul to, to learn how to balance all this colour and stuff

that is no witchcraft, but academic knowledge! gotta learn about colour theory bro

while the main picture is a hot and cold relationship (cold figure vs warm background), the background and figure have each their own relationships - background mostly has complimentaries (red and green) and figure has primaries (red,blue,yellow). background and figure use different contrast types to stand out from each other. i also use a limited palette so the picture can all stick together! the picture has many details but like 4 main colours. (yellow, orange, green, blue and a bit of red). while each colour has its own hue variants if you pay attention you can see the same shade being used multiple times for multiple things. this is a way to deal with colours in a composition but there are thousands others! learn the basic colour theory things and colours wont ever let you down again.

TL;DR limited palette and different colour relationships between background and figure so they stand out from each other

I have every now and then gone through some courses that have a section for colour, but it doesn't seem quite stick in my brain as other topics such as values/composition etc. I suppose a full colour themed course of some sort might be nice.

This particular picture seems a little more complex than basic colour theory so to say, but I kinda get the explanation! Usually I end up just throwing a gradient map over mine to make them come together haha.

Thank you for the explanation Xuu <3
