Yeah I prefer simple and limited colour also. Basically I choose to colour using only two types of tones: the actual colour of whatever it is I'm colouring and a darker (usually quite extreme) variation of the same colour. Personally I think it has alot more impact than using (example) four different lights and four different darks PLUS the original colour. But that's just me. I went through a phase of trying to colour my pictures with that many tones but they just ended up blending together and becoming, to me, boring in comparison.
My last few pictures, however, have used the two tone method, which I have fallen in love with and am soon to marry, have kids and live a life on the prarie farming tumbleweeds.
