Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 8 screenshots above are Oman Observer's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Oman Observer runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #3C6484) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #0C2C4C, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look.
