Color Help

I am a long-time knitter, but never fell under the spell of colorwork. I've done some, of course, in children's sweaters, socks and mittens. I have never knit a colorwork sweater. There is a lot more to it, lol! I don't know any of the color theory -- what color is dominant -- how to position the colors -- if I want the sweater to be light vs. dark, etc. I have navy blue, light brown, and dark grey. I have multiple colors to choose from for the fourth color. Can you give a girl who is clueless about color placement a hand? I was hoping I could figure it out by reading the posts and looking at the WIPs, but it hasn't happened. Thanks!
