If the whole picture has the same color bias I'd use Color Balance or R/G/B Level Adjustments,
if it's just partial then the same with a mask.
If you want to correct it by painting over try out different blend modes if normal gave you dirty colors.
For example if you want a certain spot to be darker and more saturated I paint over it on a multiply layer.
Sometimes when starting a color study I make test strokes next to the color I want to recreate,
see how they match.
Maybe for some that's already cheating but IMHO only colorpicking in advance is cheating
and so I avoid that.
But testing out colors and then correcting it is a good learning exercise with instant fedback I think.
