How do you get the colors so vivid?

It's always in the juxtaposition of colors, not in colors themselves. You've got to find a palette of colors which are playing off each other nicely. There's a ton of books (and web sites) on color palettes, but I must say I haven't read any of them. I don't know any smart rules, I'll just experiment. Some really simple rules are not to shade with a darker color, but with another color (for example, I'll shade warm skin color with a cool blue-ish color), or not to just paint something with the color that it has under some ideal light condition, but to always think of how the thing is lit, and show the color of the things which reflect in it. That is why there's some bright blue and green on my skin colors - the skin itself would never be this color, but it's what's reflected on the skin.

Awesome. It's hard cuz it's so easy when something is one color you use it's opposite. But it gets complicated with army green and florusant green? You know? It's not simple ROYGBRIV anymore.

Right. My point is, using books, the color wheel and strict rules can give you guidance, but at some point you need to develop a feeling of your own about what's the right color to choose. I always work on intuition, but of course that means I'll make a lot of formal mistakes. But at the same time, there's a greater chance at coming up with something original and unconventional. It's up to you which road to take.

Awesome. Is there a complex color wheel?

What do you mean by "there"? Because I'm sure there's a book with a complex color wheel *somewhere*... but again, I don't even know books with a *simple* one.
