    Next up, tell her about color theory in general and how valid color combinations for characters are more limited than you thought. Show her how green goblin, piccolo and the joker share color identity due to this. That’s why Spider-Man and Superman go to the same tailor! Etc etc

      That stems more from the limitations of the four-color process than anything else. That’s why Superman and Spider-Man share the exact same red and blue (cyan). I wouldn’t really use comic books as a yardstick for valid color combinations nor graphic design in general, of course with (few) exceptions.
