A sepia comic can reserve its darkest brown for lettering and panel borders, leaving the paper unfilled for highlights. Give one object a separate accent if it needs to draw the eye: ochre introduces yellow without abandoning the earth-tone palette.
Burnt sienna is a light orange-red in this pairing; burnt umber is a much deeper reddish brown.
Decorative pairing only
