I don’t know how to color, where should I start?

Hello, I’m Eren and I’ve drawing for quite a while now. I would say I’m pretty good at drawing and doing my pieces in B&W. But, my art pieces are lacking when it comes to color. I don’t know nothing about the color theory nor how to paint with color. I honestly don’t know where to start and I need some tips. Please respond and thank you.

    Depends what you are trying to colour and what medium you want to work in, but often a limited palette is useful to start with, fewer colours but carefully combined can create great effects. The Zorn Palette is a good example for portraits in oil or acrylic.
