Color choices
Swallowtail butterfly wings can begin with pale yellow sections beside black or deep brown markings.

Finish the stems and broad leaves with fresh greens, using darker green along the veins for contrast.
Wing Pattern Palette
Repeat a chosen color sequence across the wing sections. Echo selected wing shades in the lilac blossoms to connect the butterfly with the flower cluster.
