I do an abnormally large amount of work on color when I'm working on early parts of character chapters. Here's some quick screencaps of what direction I'm working on for Akello! For each character, I like when they have an "image color" or a color that represents them. For Mori its teal and purple, for Amir it was rose and gold. For Akello, I want to lean heavily into earthy tones with some strong shades of green. Which hues specifically will depend on Atlas' finalized sprites of course, but here is my preliminary work on laying general concept.
