Without clear and concise guidelines, artist can only guess or improvise. And this is not good, first because lots of time is wasted and second because we might end up with a collection of inconsistent set of artworks. </div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The most important thing would be to set clear color guidelines stating the values in RGB or hexadecimal numbers rather than just saying brown or orange and so on.</div> <div dir="ltr"
