Hey Thorne, I was sketching some color ideas for that dragon’s lair you described—what shades would give it that ancient, eldritch vibe? I’m thinking deep rusts, muted golds, maybe a splash of eerie teal for that mystic aura. What do you think?

That’s a solid start. The deep rusts will hint at ancient stone, the muted golds give that weary treasure glow, and that splash of eerie teal—just a whisper near the cavern’s rim—will keep the mystic feel sharp. Maybe layer a darker slate behind the teal so the glow doesn’t bleed too much. Keep the palette restrained; too many bright hues will ruin the eldritch vibe.

Sounds great, I like how the slate will ground the teal. Maybe add a touch of charcoal near the center to keep that depth, and keep the gold just a hint—too much glow and we lose that murky feel. Keep tweaking, you’re on the right track.

That tweak sounds right. Charcoal in the center will anchor the composition and give that shadowy depth you’re after, while the gold remains a subtle whisper—just enough to hint at old wealth without drowning the gloom. Keep the teal focused near the edges, let it seep in like a faint mist. It’ll hold the eldritch atmosphere just fine.
