Shoutout to a friend's sketch that changed how I see color palettes

I always stuck to safe, muted colors in my digital pieces. Seeing my friend use bold, clashing shades in their showcase made me realize it adds energy. What unusual color picks have you tried that turned out great?

Remember trying that mustard yellow with electric blue combo everyone said would look sick. Looked more like a toddler's craft explosion, but somehow it worked for a chaotic character piece. Guess my bad taste is just advanced style, right?

Spot how clashing colors in art mirror the chaotic beauty of a crowded street.

Wait, hold on, you made MUSTARD YELLOW and ELECTRIC BLUE actually work together? I mean, just hearing those colors next to each other sounds like a visual car crash. I would've bet money that combo was a guaranteed mess, no question. It's crazy that it ended up being the right kind of chaotic for your piece. Guess you really did just have some next level bad taste going on there.
