How much detail?

Broad wings and an open background contrast with the smaller legs and narrow body segments. About the labels.

Try this palette: Quiet pond

Reed greenPale blueLavenderStone gray

Color the body one strong color and keep the wings pale so the long silhouette stands out.

A small coloring tip

Use a broad tip on the wings and a fine point on the short legs and body segments.

Alternate two colors down the abdomen, then repeat one in the reed.
