James Gurney is an absolute master and gives really good clarity on colour techniques. Yes, it is traditional paint focused, but the principles are the same. Yes it is informed by the environmental colour but as a painting technique it is achieved this way!

While it's not super important to know about the mathematical side of blend modes, I think it's worth knowing at least enough about how each of the categories of blend modes works and why they do what they do; if for no other reason than having a starting point when you start experimenting with them in your work.

An overview of the basic blend modes and how they work from Genevieve's Design Studio: Accessible with minimal color knowledge; practical and illustration focused. https://youtu.be/kMc87hQrJd0?si=TWCB365pKSfWS8p0. (16 minutes) This creator also has a ton of free resources you can download, including a Blend Modes cheatsheet, but fair warning: you have to create an account to get them!

@muntiller2

tl;dr putting aside the talk of blending modes and All That, you find this out basically by experimenting with the contrast of relative colours within a restricted hue (this is how i do it, anyway). Digital art is great for no-stakes experimenting because you never run out of paint or canvas.

In your red shirt under blue light example, you treat it as a new palette - this time in shades of blue and hues that are close to blue (purples, etc) Your job is to match the contrast of the red shirt's original hue with the new palette you have. If you get close enough you just trick the brain into going "Well fuck it, that's red under blue light ain't it?" and you're good to go.

THATS WHAT YOU DO. Getting @avathefur in here for backup
