Picking colours has a lot to do with ~Colour Relativity~ also known as Value.

It doesn’t matter what colours you end up picking, you’ll need to start with this kind of balance. Use the KISS method; Keep It Super Simple. Too many colours can make your image muddy and/or confusing. 

How to pick an awesome palette? Take a look at this cool shit.

Colour families can give your image a sense of unity. They’re also really handy for setting different moods. Warm colours are usually associated with high energy, big feelings like happiness and love! Cool colours are more subdued and carry heavier, slower connotations like sadness. Or just a KICK ASS AESTHETIC pic.

Bold colours are very fun to use but too many of them can hurt.

TL;DR:

Have dark, light, and midtones in your palette

Pick a colour & use colours similar to it
