The colors in your model, clothing, surroundings, etc. will integrate themselves to a great degree, without having to worry about putting colors in that aren't there.

I recently painted a mostly white bowl that was sitting on a green cloth. The underside of the bowl showed up very green because objects reflect the colors that are around them. This is true even of surfaces that are not particularly shiny, like skin.

If you have a dark blue background, for example, and a green kimono, the shadows of the kimono will automatically have a lot of blue in them. In turn, her skin will also show a lot of blue and green, especially in the shadows and reflections. It's just a matter of looking for these colors and how they all influence each other.
