ok i’m flatting out a client illustration right now i’m gonna try this

confirmed this rules i will do this forever from now on

can’t quote but btw elicia is 100% correct as to why it works. you can achieve the same effect by having a colour layer set to something like soft light (or whatever you prefer) on top of all your other layers. i do this on every single illustration i make (many MANY digital illustrators do this!)

also, if working traditionally with paint or whatever, you can make a harmonized palette by mixing a little bit of the same colour, into all your other colours including white) before you start working with them!
