As far as going too dark, too fast-- I'm not the best person to ask... but would just suggest that you keep in mind that light over dark paint will seem cooler and dark over lighter will seem warmer. (Garth H. has a blurb somewhere in the Apotheon thread, I think, where he talks about how this works...) So anyway, when I've gone to dark and want an area to be lighter AND warmer... I'll paint it a bit lighter than I want to go first, then come over the lighter color to get the shade (and temperature) that's needed... Hope that helps!
