>hen you say burn you mean intensity of the color? So an intense yellow light would create an intense purple/pink that you tend to like?
Nah.
Yellow light would make a yellowish burn (on skin I'd say more orange/red considering the blood on the surface)
However, a yellow light would produce a purple/pink shadow.


Take a look at this screenshot of Nero. Pink lighting and a pink burn around the shadows, even on the hard-edge shadows.

A lot of discretion is up to the artist's preference.

Some interesting color combinations to make the picture look more dynamic.
Also it's porn so making girl look more pink is usually an erotic thing. (if they have light skin)


For me, I pick a light color and choose the color of the shadow roughly at the opposite end of the spectrum. Usually you see yellow/purple, orange/blue, red/green. Of course don't take it super literally. Almost all of these colors are muted. It's subtlety.

Then you can get into stuff like bounce lighting, multiple light sources, and ambient occlusion.
Most of these can be stylized within reason, though.
