Gradient maps are used by lots of professionals to "unify" the color of a piece. Sometimes when you do flat colors, your colors can be a bit non-coordinate, so applying a gradient map over the whole thing brings the colors into more harmony.
I hope these tips helped! Let me know if you have any further questions or comments! Also if you want to suggest a tip for me to go over, feel free to message me!
