>>7892871What you just posted is a perfect example of flat tones. Hell I'll post a better scan of that page to emphasis that, look at the reds on Kon-El's legs
>Pants are entirely the same shade of red in a scene at night time asides from a really poor early-90s gradient to create some highlights from the moon behind him>No darker red tones for shading, just your typical flat-black cross hatching that would be better achieved through natural lighting than any paint application>The yellow on his outfit are all entirely the same shade asides from the ones that have the same shitty 90s gradient applied like on the red.If you picked the main colors from this image you'd get a dark red, a dark yellow, a dark blue, the blue on Kon's shirt and eyes, black and white. Outside of the horrible looking gradients everything is a solid color.
