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 Color Dictionary: Sanzo's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Color Dictionary: Sanzo runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #3C2C1C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #DC4424, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look.
