I mostly work with "soft light"
the thing is, with the grayscale you already have made your values, so if you paint color over it, it is unneccesary to choose the values again - go for a normal color, a bit more saturated than you would like to have it. (which means, you want something dark blue, don't choose a dark blue color but a more "normal" blue tone)
If it looks a bit flat, it is completely normal, you still have to refine the painting, and adding specks of other colors for a more interesting color composition.
but then, I am still trying to figure all the blending modes out, too -_-
