It's a great explanation :] I'll be doing that from now on, right now though I am going to have to see how much hue shifting i'll need to do, I don't want to overdo it for some sprites.
Just an example;
Edit: So I went to try it for one of my sprites, which is just a tree. From left to right is my process.
1 has no hue shifting at all.
2 I felt like I did it too much to the leaves, but I wanted your opinions
3 I felt like the colors were easier on the eyes and looked a bit more alive so I continued that.
4 Trying different bark color, wasn't too happy.
5 Looks okay, but a bit paler than I intended.
6, I think looks okay, should I go for a more rich color though? I didn't move the hues very far at all.
Edit2: Just wanted to see if I am on the right track
