So, here's some long term advice when it comes to handling colours confidently: draw lots from life, shade/render what you're observing. Why? Because without a good understanding of values, your colours and painting will fall short. One cannot simply overlook values in order to paint, but one can overlook colours in order to paint. ^ ^
