well, the first thing I see is that the blackwhite values don't show any real variety. If you want something a dark brown later, make it a really dark grey beforehand. This makes a lot more difference than just picking a dark brown color later.
But on the other hand, the colors will never look exactly as the ones you picked - you are laying them over a greyish tone after all, it has to change something.
Workingn with blending modes is more fitted to lay down a quick color wash, so you can see where you want to go -> it doesn't release you from actually painting with color.
Well - basically everything that has been said already.
long story short: Blending modes will not magically bring in the color you picked exactly as you imagined it. and the greyscale sketch underneath needs to have a good valuerange.
