Reflective Colours in Oil Painting

Light colours, such as white and in this case grey, reflect surrounding colours.  I have added different shades of grey in Kacey's shorts - blue/grey to reflect the blue in the shirt, pinks and red/greys to reflect the red.  In the shadows I have accentuated the colours by adding pure blue dabs and dark reds.  A little flesh tone colour is lightly dabbed into the folds of the shorts around the arm.  I probably will add some more when I paint the arm so that I have the right colour.
