Color Usage in Amulet

Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi is my favorite graphic novel series and an excellent example of how to effectively use color in illustration. Kazu uses color to help you know how to feel during certain scenes in the books. For example whenever the characters are in a bad situation or in an unfamiliar or seemingly dangerous place, the color used overall to describe the setting is cool blues and greens.

However when the characters are safe and the main characters are amongst friends, earthier colors are used to lay out the scene.
