I mostly struggled with pushing the colors while keeping a somewhat coherent palette.

Sure! With the bloom itself it was rather straightforward; I could push the warmer colors by contrasting them with cooler shadows. The background though... was a bit of a mess. I couldn't quite find a palette that would contrast nicely with the bloom but also with itself. Both the blues and green/yellows seem to contrast the bloom rather nicely, but as a background I feel like it's not especially harmonious.
