Color that subject across its largest connected shapes, gather everything around it into a quieter background, and save a handful of small contrasts for the third pass.

Each has one job: base for the broad, quiet area; main for the subject you want noticed first; support to connect repeated details; dark for a few deep boundaries; and accent for a small point of attention.
