Krita has a useful tool called the Colorize Mask Editing Tool which allows you to simply draw a patch inside the line work with the color you want to fill. Once all the color patches have been drawn, you could preview the color fill and if everything is to your satisfaction, you can just click a button to save the color fill permanently. The following steps illustrate: Start Krita . Open up a line work drawing e.g. christmas_tree.svg .

I was having difficulty in locating a digital traditional color palette for digital painting so I made this digital traditional color palette from the default swatch of Photoshop .

In Inkscape , it is possible to copy the color from one object to another object using the Pick Color   tool. This saves a bit of time since you don't have to note down the source color and type in the new RGB color values in some dialog box.  To illustrate how to do this, see the following steps. In Inkscape , click the Pick Color tool    icon in the left tool bar or press F7 on the keyboard. The cursor changes to an eye dropper . Hover the cursor over the object with the source color e.g. green S , as shown below. Then press CTRL+C . The color underneath the cursor is copied over to the clipboard . Then click the Select and transform objects tool or press F1 . Now click on the object to be changed, e.g. blue G , as shown below. Press CTRL+V . The selected object's color is changed from blue to green.
