Colour referencingt

To capture the right kind of colour, I took myself outside to have a bit of primary research. I loved the shades of this specific plant, therefore I tried to match it on my hand so I could recreate it for my chair. The colours are almost yellow - I love that. The green block colour of usual leaves is too easy to capture - especially when you're only painting them directly; so to make it more interesting I figured I may as well paint something that has shape, form and shade too it just like the photographed real plants.
Here's what I came up with. A mixture of blues, yellow's a white to get a similar colour. I mixed the blue thickly before adding a lot of yellow and blend it out with a white. As you can see on my hand, the colour are almost messily done so much so, that they are sat on top of one another in parts. I would like to capture this completely on my chair.
