Anthony Jones generously sent me a video tutorial on color (How nice is that?), which I've attempted to use in tandem with yesterday's discovery. He suggested that colors really only make sense in the context of a unifying "mother color." This was consistent with Daniel Chavez's helpful comments on establishing a color hierarchy.
I've seen this done retroactively by using colorized hue/sat adjustment layers with the opacity reduced, photo filters and color balance. On-the-fly, it can be achieved by choosing a hue, dappling it on the "mother color" (at a lower flow) and using the resulting blend rather than the original full-on hue.
AJ also pointed out that the hue jumps in my pre-fab palette were a little big, so I've gone back into the adjustment layers and made them all more subtle.
Thanks so much, man. Lucky to have you as a friend.

No link to the tutorial? tsk tsk
Thanks for posting all your explorations with color btw, it's helping me grow a little insight of my own. I usually "just paint", which is a horrible method. Could be nice to know how to explain things.
Any chance you could post a link to that video?
Haledorn, drop me a mail and I'll forward the video to you!
I suspect you'll get more requests for the video ... any possibility of posting it to vimeo or some other video site?
But, maybe it's a private production, so then no worries.
