Colours Question
Hey, I've come to realise that I'm not great at working out what colours to make things eg. monsters etc. where it be diffuse maps or just 2d sketches.
I was wondering if any one could give me any insight on how they go about working out the colours for their characters etc. I know there's "colour theory" but so far all I find are links to "blue and yellow make green, green could represent..." , could some one link me to something they have found useful or de-hippy-fiy it for me.
I know it's a bit of a noob thing to ask, but I hear asking is good lol.

these later ones follow the principles of color theory as far as color sets n such go.
play with them and you might develop an intuitive sense of what goes where
