She doesn't really have any different colours except her hair. Its all just a light blue/gray. The purplish colours on her extremities is just a multiply layer for tinting.
Here's the process:
1: Sketch
2: Lay down dark background under the sketch (normally the colour of the darkest shadows, so usually blue or purple)
3: Lay down really rough underpaint lighting under sketch (I don't always do this, but I normally do it for things that are lighter toned, like her skin.)
4: Start laying down midrange tones on top of sketch. I leave the lineart showing through.
5: Put on highlights, backlights, any other detail stuff, etc etc.
6: mask out character from background (this one doesnt have a background, but I do the same thing of just painting around them so I can easily work without painting over them.)

7: Add background elements, atmospheric depth, etc etc (again, none here)
8: Add overlay textures and make final colour/contrast adjustments.
You can do that?
Which runs into my next question, how do you do that?
Thanks! That helps a lot. I get really flustered with all the colour options in Photoshop, haha.
