The digitally colored drawing above was primarily an exercise to study wrinkles in clothing and foreshortened/overlapping anatomy. You'll notice very little value value rendering of form. Instead I've chosen to use grays and browns throughout most of the image and then use high chroma flesh tones to call focus to the grappling characters. It's one way to limit the palette for expressive effect.
Mary Cassatt made a lot of beautiful work with great sensitivity to chroma and a lot more subtlety than myself (image from Wikipedia's article on Cassatt):
