Carlos,

A good way of integrting the color would be to first ask yourself "what color is the light?" And then look for the colors in the halftones (indirect light) and shadows, which are both generated by the color of the light. You should find the same light/halftone/shodow colors influencing all the different elements of the painting, from the skin to the dark hair.
