That is maybe a strange question-it goes along with coloring comics with the computer(Photoshop of course).

For example there are many Comics where the colours are divided in "COld" and "warm" Colours to make a contrast between a man and a machine or sthglike that.

Is there a trick , to have the right palette of colours, or what have I to do?

I totally agree with sage that it is alot to say about the color issue, which ofcourse has subjective and objective sides. While the former has to do with our inner artist, the latter is the outer one, being our physical tools too see our world.

I have to disagree with Sage on the highest contrast, being between two colors being on the opposite sides of the (traditional) color wheel. Studys have showed over and over again that is not the case. The highest contrast that the human eye can concieve is between yellow and black, way higher than the contrast say for green vs red. There are many more examples. Why do you think many warning patterns (diagonal black and yellwo stripes) are a combination of yellow and black? The edges between those colors creaty the highest possible illlusion of contrast in the human eye.

However, there will always bee a strong contrast betweeen "complimentary" colors, that is true ofcourse. I put that in quote because a complimentary colors can be defined in many ways depending on which media you talk about, generally with an additive media, complimentary colors should produce a white light if blended with eachother. In a subtractive medium, it is the opposite way, all the light should be subtracted.
