Too few colours and the result looks flat. Too many and it becomes a chore.
The Sweet Spot
24–36 colours for most subjects. Pet portraits sometimes need a few more for realistic fur.
Why Not 60?
Anything over 40 colours stops being fun. You'll spend more time switching pots than painting.
Custom Calibration
A real custom kit matches the palette to your photo — not the other way around. That is the main difference between a custom kit and a stock design.
