I think sepia is a bit warmer and maybe a bit lighter in general than that hue you used. Have you maybe considered painting the whole thing with value only, then colorizing the whole lot to get that sepia effect. You can then go in with an overlay to selectively pop out just the blue bits. You could come up with something stylistically unique that way, kinda like those old fake coloured black and white photos. It would probably be quicker to churn them out because you wouldn't have to paint flats...just value.

You could even push that idea and make it look like old photos, with textures and scratches and weathering. Not sure if that fits your story but it might add to the post apocalyptic western theme.
You could also play with contrast between the figures and the background. Check this out. Love the contrast, but it's still a "real" scene. www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_MY_P_I/0_my_photographs_london_police_gz32_sepia_1024.jpg
