two tutorials!
First tutorial

Photoshop 7 - not translatable
Involves curves, selective coloring, and levels
Level: Amateur
Preview:
1.) start with your base. Now for me, I start with a large image and resized it once I finished, but you can start with 100x100 base if you'd like. if the image is dark, screen it.
2.) new h/s/l:
master:
0, 35, 0
you can skip this step if your base is already saturated enough
3.) new selective coloring
reds:
-100, 0, 100, 0
yellows:
-100, 0, -50, 0
cyans:
100, 0, -100, 0
blues:
100, 0, -100, 0
magentas:
-100, 100, -100, 0
neutrals:
43, 0, -20, -15
3.) new selective coloring
reds:
0, 0, 15, 0
neutrals:
10, 0, 5, 0
4.) new color fill layer (#3E1A1A) on exclusion %100
5.) new curves:
blue:
point one: 77, 39
point two: 124, 145
6.) new levels layer:
red:
0, 0.82, 255
green:
0, 0.94, 255
blue:
0, 1.38, 255
set this layer to darken
6.) duplicate your base, drag it to the top and set to color %50
7.) new brightness/contrast layer:
brightness: -10
contrast: 25
and you're done!

Involves selective coloring
Level: Amateur
Preview:
now this tutorial is a little more tricky because it involves two colorings, so what your gonna do is open up two windows, both with your base in them. I'll split them up in parts.
part I:
1.) start with your base
2.) new h/s/l layer:
master
0, 35, 0
3.) new color fill (#FF7800) set to luminosity %30
4.) new selective coloring:
reds:
-100, 30, 45, -5
yellows:
100, 15, -25, 39
neutrals:
45, -10, -25, -10
5.) new color fill (#300D0D) set to exclusion 60%
6.) new selective coloring:
reds:
-30, 0, 50, -25
neutrals:
5, 15, 30, -25
7.) duplicate your base, drag to the top, and set it to soft light %50
well now that's done, let's move on to part two, where you should have another window with your original base open.
part II
1.) so we got our base already so that obviously step one is to have that.
2.) new h/s/l layer:
master
0, 35, 0
NOTE: as you can figure out, I use this h/s/l layer A LOT
3.) new selective coloring
reds:
-100, 100, 0, 0
yellows:
-100, 0, -50, 0
cyans:
100, 0, -100, 0
blues:
100, 0, -100, 0
magentas:
-100, 100, -100, 0
neutrals:
50, 0, 50, -15
4.) new selective coloring
reds:
-100, 0, 100, 0
yellows:
-100, 0, -50, 0
cyans:
100, 0, -100, 0
blues:
100, 0, -100, 0
magentas:
-100, 100, -100, 0
neutrals:
43, 0, -20, -15
4.) okay now this is where our part one comes in! go back to your first icon (part I), copy merged (ctrl+shift+c), go back to part II, and paste it (ctrl+v). set this to color %50
5.) new color fill (#000014) set to exclusion %100
6.) new selective coloring:
reds:
-100, 0, 0, 0
yellows:
-100, 0, 0, 0
neutrals:
-30, 0, 20, -11
and you're done!
