Not at all, go ahead. Pillow shading is what I want to avoid, but clearly I'm a bad judge on it.
I will note, I've typically been aiming for 3 to 4 shades per colour I need to use, depending on the size of the area and what it is, though I have gone up to five for this particular guy I'm working on for his red armour, simply because at points having only five was limiting my ability to show some of the smaller design aspects, even if a bit unneeded.
I will note, since this guy is suppose to be wearing metallic armour, I've been taking from the MMX 32-bit sprites to help me try to develop the shading correctly.
