What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layer Colors: Build depth by layering light colors first, then adding darker shades for shadows and texture, especially on the suitcases.
• Define Elements: Use a slightly darker shade along the edges of map continents or suitcase seams to make them pop.
• Create Themes: Give each suitcase a unique color scheme or pattern. Use a consistent color for all "ocean" areas on the maps to unify the page.
• Play with Backgrounds: Leave the background white for a clean look, or add a soft, light wash of color (like a very light #F0F8FF / Alice Blue) to make the central art stand out.
