Judy, maybe your kids are lookingfor more contrast, which you get by using complimentary colors to change the hue of the original color.....like with green, you would use red to make it darker where it needs to be darker...or yellow/white to create the sunshine effect.
Heres and example, that is extreme contrast, but might explain it a little more clearly.
Had to angle the shot so I didn't get a glare, so i hope it shows well..
I wanted it to look like sunshine on the philodendron....kept geting lighter and lighter, but I liked the look of it.
Does this help?
