• Ghostly Glow: Use a soft, shimmering purple for the ghosts body and add bright orange highlights on its edges. Include some white dots along the edge to give it an ethereal glow.

• Daytime Ghost: Use bright colors like pink or light blue for the ghosts body and add darker shades of brown to create shading on its edges. Include some white highlights on the ghosts face and arms to give it a friendly appearance.
• Glowing Eyes: Paint the background a dark grayish-black, then use an electric blue for the ghosts body. Add bright yellow eyes that glow in the dark, creating a spooky yet playful effect.
