Colors is the main thing I work on and struggle with so I am actually not an expert about it, but I'll give you tips that helped me a lot.
I did some more art school years since you asked this edvhsu
🌿Viewer’s eyes are attracted to human shapes and to the brightest part of a picture.
🌿Shadows are never black, but take the colors of the atmosphere.
🌿Light going through an object gives it more saturated colors. It is called SubSurface Scattering.
🌿Saturating the border of your shadow in a reddish tint is a life hack.
🌿Colors reflect on every surface they are near, more or less depending on how much they are lighted.
And if I had some personal notes to add:
🌿I now stick to monochromatic color palettes mostly, and if I want to go wild I add one or two touches of other colors. I find it more confortable.
🌿I try to pay more attention to values and greyscale, because composition through values is very important. Also I never contrast my paintings enough and it shows.
🌿Artistic takes like random blotches of colors, rim light, or chromatic abberation add spice to whatever you do. I took the habit to use it since it is easy flexin. Though I use it a lot less recently.
🌿Contrast greyish colors with adding saturated colors of the same value next to it. I love the effect it gives.
