I noticed the shadows in the hair are the same color as the background which would be the fill/ambient light color, that's exactly right! Keep doing that.
The strongest highlights in the hair are PURE BLINDING WHITE, so I slightly toned them down with the shadow color.
The green in the eyes is way too saturated like a color you'd see in an Atari game. I turned down the saturation and boosted the brightness.
After "correcting" the eyes, I realized they were about the same color as the glowy stuff on the sword, which I think helps harmonize the character. Maybe subconsciously you were trying to do that!
Here's a damn good color tutorial!
