This concept piece shows how prioritizing one dominant color—here, a soft atmospheric blue—can create a sense of calm and cohesion. The complementary touches of light orange in the sunset and warm yellow in the city lights provide contrast, bringing life and warmth to the scene without overpowering the tranquil mood.
By keeping the complementary colors subtle and dispersed, the palette feels balanced and sophisticated, drawing the viewer’s eye naturally through the landscape. This approach highlights how careful control of color can enhance both the scale and atmosphere of a scene.
