I was thinking of giving my rockclimber



A trouser of dessert yellow.

What are the best colors to shade and highlight Dessert Yellow?

Best complementary color to shade dark yellow would probably be brown and to highlight it you can use beige or even white.

Hi Roadkill

Neat figure - really impressive climbing irons on the belt. It reminds me of my father, who was a rock-climber in his youth :-)

As for colours, you might try adding tan for the shadows with highlights in a mix of white/desert yellow.

All the best
